Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Olfactory conditioning, a key manifestation of behavioral plasticity, is known to enhance insect fitness in nature. It remains unclear, however, whether predatory mites—which share a common arthropod ancestry with insects but belong to a distinct evolutionary lineage—have a comparable capacity for olfactory conditioning. To bridge this knowledge gap, we assessed associative olfactory learning in the predatory mite Amblyseius largoensis by exposing it to herbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) from citrus plants infested with its prey, Panonychus citri.
