Refuge use by the coconut mite Aceria guerreronis: fine scale distribution and association with other mites under the perianth
The tiny size of eriophyoid mites is a key feature regarding their status as herbivorous pests. Many eriophyoid species are highly host specific and live in concealed sites (refuges) on their hosts, which are difficult to access by natural enemies. We explored the spatial refuge used by one of the m...
