Phytoseiulus persimilis

1. Continuous mating access shortens lifespan in P. persimilis.

   “males with continuous mating access exhibited significantly shorter lifespans”

2. Continuous mating access has no effect on lifespan in P. persimilis.

   “females with continuous access to mates had similar lifespans in comparison with those mated for only 24 h”

1. Caloric restriction decreases ovipositional duration in P. persimilis.

   “individuals receiving diet restriction during immature development and early adulthood had a greater reduction in ovipositional duration”

1. Delayed mating increases pre-oviposition period in P. persimilis.

   “Both unlimited mating and delayed mating prolonged the female pre-oviposition period.”
