seasonal abundance of allothrombium monochaetum and allothrombium pulvinum in navarra-nafarroa (northern spain), with notes on larval host preference and rate of parasitism.	in this paper we report on the seasonal abundance of velvet mite larvae of allothrombium pulvinum ewing and allothrombium monochaetum goldarazena and zhang in a meadow located in the mediterranean navarra-nafarroa region (northern spain). larvae of a. monochaetum peaked in numbers on aphis fabae in mid-june while larvae of a. pulvinum peaked in the third week of july. both species preferred the aphid thorax as attachment site. we also provide a list of aphid hosts of both mites and observed dens ...	1999	10737733
activity of aphids associated with lettuce and broccoli in spain and their efficiency as vectors of lettuce mosaic virus.	this research sought to identify the aphid virus vector species associated with lettuce and broccoli crops in spain, and to determine their population dynamics and ability to transmit lettuce mosaic virus (lmv). green tile traps and moericke yellow water-pan traps were used to monitor aphid flights during the spring and autumn growing seasons of 2001. aphid species feeding on lettuce were counted weekly. the transmission efficiencies of lmv were determined for the aphid species caught most frequ ...	2004	15036838
