Thanks a bunch, those are helping me home in on the issue. There are so many pubs to wade through and so many that promise without fulfilling. I found one that talks extensively on mite infertility in A. scutellata. The author fully documents the phenomenon but fails to identify a cause. Apparently mite fertility is lower in scuts but why?
