Evolution in response to an abiotic stress shapes species coexistence

I. Fragata, D. P. Godinho, L. R. Rodrigues, M. A. Cruz, F. Zele, O. Godoy, S. Magalhaes

The paper shows that evolution in a stressful environment allows two spider mite species to coexist, but evolution of one species in isolation leads to exclusion.

Limits to the adaptation of herbivorous spider mites to metal accumulation in homogeneous and heterogeneous environments

D. P. Godinho, I. Fragata, A. Majer, L. R. Rodrigues, S. Magalhaes

This study tests whether herbivorous spider mites adapt to cadmium-accumulating plants in homogeneous and heterogeneous environments, finding no adaptation and low genetic variation in measured traits.

Multiple mating rescues offspring sex ratio but not productivity in a haplodiploid exposed to developmental heat stress

S. G. Costa, S. Magalhaes, L. R. Rodrigues

This study examines how developmental heat stress affects reproductive success and sex ratio in the haplodiploid spider mite Tetranychus urticae, finding that multiple mating can restore sex ratio but not offspring productivity.

Virulence constrains transmission even in the absence of a genetic trade-off

D. P. Godinho, L. R. Rodrigues, S. Lefevre, L. Delteil, A. F. Mira, I. R. Fragata, S. Magalhaes, A. B. Duncan

The study shows that virulence and parasite fitness have a hump-shaped relationship when transmission is not possible, but a positive correlation when transmission occurs, indicating environmental and genetic influences depending on transmission timing.

Creating outbred and inbred populations of haplodiploid mites to measure adaptive responses in the lab

D. P. Godinho, M. A. Cruz, M. C. de la Masseliere, J. Teodoro-Paulo, C. Eira, I. Fragata, L. R. Rodrigues, F. Zele, S. Magalhaes

The paper describes methods to create outbred and inbred haplodiploid spider mite populations for studying adaptive responses and heritability.

Environments with a high probability of incompatible crosses do not select for mate avoidance in spider mites

L. R. Rodrigues, F. Zele, I. Santos, S. Magalhaes

The paper investigates whether Wolbachia-induced cytoplasmic incompatibility selects for mate avoidance in spider mites, finding no evolution of mate choice despite genetic variation in mating duration.

Despite reproductive interference, the net outcome of reproductive interactions among spider mite species is not necessarily costly

S. H. Clemente, I. Santos, A. R. Ponce, L. R. Rodrigues, S. A. M. Varela, S. Magalhaes

The study examines reproductive interactions among spider mite species, finding that while mating with heterospecifics can have negative or positive effects on fecundity and sex ratio, the overall net effect is weak.
