The survey consisted of counted the galls on 5 haphazardly selected plants and then dissecting 5 galls for each plant. The number of <i>Floracarus perrepae</i> biological control mites and the number of predatory mites were recorded for each gall. The survey was intended to run a full early starting 9/29/2021, but it concluded early in July 2022 when the screenhouse became too hot for a colony to be maintained there. Predatory mite presence is correlated with a reduction in <i>F. perrepae </i>numbers. Sequenced samples of predatory mite from the colony and indicated that the predatory mite is <i>Amblyseius rematavensis</i>.</p><p dir=\"ltr\">Partially funded by the USDA through the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) (USDA agreement 58-6032-1-001), through the Southwest Florida Water Management District (USDA agreement 58-6032-3-003).</p>", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "downloadURL": "https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/53651954", "format": "csv", "mediaType": "text/csv", "title": "predatory mite survey.csv"}], "identifier": "10.15482/USDA.ADC/28789331.v1", "keyword": ["USDA", "mites", "invasive species", "biological control", "Floracarus perrepae", "Lygodium microphyllum", "predatory mite", "ferns", "galls"], "license": "https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/", "modified": "2025-05-19", "programCode": ["005:040"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Agricultural Research Service"}, "temporal": "2021-09-29/2022-07-14", "title": "Population dynamics of<i> Floracarus perrepae </i>and a predatory mite in a screenhouse environment"}
