The present study was conducted for two years (2016-2018) to throw some light on the acarofauna feather bird mites (Arachnida: Acari: (Astigmata) of some wild birds in some Egypt governorates. The study revealed the presence of 30 species of feather bird mites, belonging to 9 families and one suborder (Astigmata) were collected from 21 species within 8 families. Mites were extracted using modified Tullgren funnel and mounted in Hoyers medium on microscopic slides for examination. The parasitic feather mites detected in the present study included feather mites of families Alloptidae, Analgidae, Avenzoariidae, Proctophyllodidae, Pterolichidae, Trouessartiidae, Xolalgidae and Falcuferidae. The present study showed that wild birds in Egypt harbor various species of ectoparasitic feather mites.

The duration of developmental stages and life table parameters of the two spotted-spider mite; Tetranychus urticae Koch were carried out at the laboratory on 27±3oC and 65±5% R.H. on leaves of two tomato hybrids; Supper-gekal and Salymia treated with improve resistance compounds, (Potassium humates, Potassium silicates, Salicylic acid and Methyl jasmonate) and untreated plants as control. These compounds used in enhancement resistance in tomato plants are significantly related to oviposition and developmental rates of T. urticae and playing an important role in the direct defence to the mite. The adult longevity and fecundity of T. urticae, female decreased when reared on leaves of two treated tomato hybrids than leaves of untreated. The net reproductive rate (Ro) of T. urticae, decreasing when rearing on leaves of two the tomato hybrids treated, averaged (22.96, 24.87, 27.20, 23.45 & 19.10, 13.38, 19.65 and 18.45 females/female /day respectively, compared with rearing on leaves of untreated tomato hybrids (control) averaging 48.17 and 37.72 females/female /day respectively. Also, the intrinsic rate of natural increase (rm) showed similar trend as the net reproductive rate (Ro). The thickness μm of the epidermis, parenchyma cells and components in sponge and palisade parenchyma cells (cellular wall, chloroplasts, intercellular space and sgnumerous starch grains) where affected by these compounds used in resistance enhancement in tomato plants, investigated them with transmission electron micrograph.

Population dynamics and species composition of phytophagous and predatory mites in citrus orchards were determined from January to December 2016 at Shenofa locality, Shebin El-Kom, Menoufia governorate, Egypt. The survey revealed the occurrence of phytophagous mites as: Panonychus citri (McGregor), Eutetranychus orientalis (Klein) (Tetranychidae); Phyllocoptruta oleivora (Ashmed) (Eriophyidae); Brevipalpus californicus (Banks) (Tenuipalpidae) and Tydeus californicus (Banks) (Tydeidae), representing the most common phytophagous species found in citrus orchards. In addition, two predatory mite species of two families were recorded as: Amblyseius swirskii Athias-Henriot (Phytoseiidae) and Agistemus exsertus González (Stigmaeidae) were found to be the most abundant predatory species inhabiting citrus leaves. The population fluctuation of phytophagous and predacious mites on studied citrus varieties was varied according to citrus varieties and sampling dates reaching its highest peak, in most cases, during September. Navel orange recorded the highest numbers of P. oleivora in comparison with other varieties of citrus (290.31 indiv. /10 leaves), while the highest number of P. citri and B. californicus were 85.63 and 45.3 indiv. /10 leaves on Balady orange. The obtained result indicated that the maximum and minimum temperature and relative humidity expressed as an insignificantly positive during 2016 season on the population of P. oleivora, E. orientalis, B. californicus, T. californicus, A. swirskii and A. exertus, but highly significance difference was obtained between population of P. citri only. Finally, it could be concluded that winter months are suitable for applying different biological control agents including predatory mites where pests are lowest in numbers and the optimum environmental factors are present as well.

This study was conducted to evaluate the ultrastructure and the scheme of cellular events occurring to cotton plant leaves after Tetranychus urticae infestation. Complementary information at the ultra-structural level were essential to provide further insight into the biological significance of the mite infestation. Data from the light and electron microscope examination of thin cross sections of cotton plant leaves under infestation with Tetranychus mites revealed different cytological modifications including mesophyll cell wall alteration, cytoplasm breakdown, and necrosis of cell and deformation which caused severe reductions in stomatal conductance & photosynthesis rate. Where, examination of light micrographs and ultrastructure thin cross sections of uninfested cotton plant (control) indicated the regular distributions of most cells and density in staining of most inter-cellular spaces and cell walls.

A spilt plot design field experiment was conducted at Ibshway, Fayoum governorate, Egypt 2017 to study the effect of two sources water (fish culture water and Nile water) and nitrogen levels fertilizer on biodiversity of Spider and other arthropods, also, its effect on yield and protein of cowpea. Community composition of collected spider was determined throughout the period of study using the Shannon-Wiener and Simpson Indices of diversity. A total of 394 individuals (228 fish cultural water and 166 Nile fresh water) represented by 10 families of 19 identified genera, of higher diversity index in fish culture water system. According to Simpson, it was found that Fish culture water system included the highest number of dominant species. Family Lycosidae recorded the highest number of spiders where 170 individuals with two egg sac and 123 individuals with two egg sac of fish culture water system and Nile freshwater system respectively. Sørensen Quotient of Similarity between Fish culture water system and Nile fresh water system are nearly approximate, as they recorded 64 % of similarity by 81.25%. Other Arthropods were represented by 23 species belonging to 16 identified families, 7 unidentified families, and 12 orders. A total of 2832 individuals in fish culture water system and 2169 individuals in Nile freshwater system were counted from 9 observations on cowpea from seedling to maturity by using pitfall trap. A total of 471 individuals in fish culture water system and 592 individuals in Nile freshwater system by using Leaves. Statistical analysis for spider, soil fauna and pests on leaves proved that no significant differences were observed between Fish culture water and Nile water but significant differences in yield and protein. Nitrogen levels were no significant differences in spider and soil fauna but significant differences in pests on leaves, yield and protein. Interaction between water sources and Nitrogen levels were no significant differences in spider but significant differences in soil fauna, pests on leaves, yield and protein.
