We evaluated the demographic responses of\n                    <jats:italic>Amblyseius swirskii<\/jats:italic>\n                    (Athias-Henriot) to vitamins B complex, C, and E provided either directly through an artificial dry diet or indirectly via two astigmatid prey mites differing in nutritional suitability,\n                    <jats:italic>Carpoglyphus lactis<\/jats:italic>\n                    L. and\n                    <jats:italic>Tyrophagus putrescentiae<\/jats:italic>\n                    (Schrank). Direct supplementation through a vitamin-enriched dry diet resulted in severe developmental impairment and complete reproductive failure, with fewer than 10% of individuals reaching adulthood and no oviposition observed. In contrast, supplementation of the same diet with mixed pollen restored development and reproduction, supporting stable\u00a0population performance over 20 generations. Prey-mediated vitamin delivery supported sustained demographic performance in both prey systems, including the nutritionally less suitable\u00a0\n                    <jats:italic>T. putrescentiae<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Population growth parameters remained stable\u00a0across generations, with intrinsic rates of increase (\n                    <jats:italic>r<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) ranging from 0.129 to 0.142 day\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    on the pollen-supplemented dry diet, 0.140 to 0.152 day\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    on\n                    <jats:italic>T. putrescentiae<\/jats:italic>\n                    , and 0.176 to 0.185 day\n                    <jats:sup>\u22121<\/jats:sup>\n                    on\n                    <jats:italic>C. lactis<\/jats:italic>\n                    . No evidence of cumulative negative generational effects was detected under indirect supplementation. These findings indicate that predator responses to micronutrient supplementation depend strongly on the mode of nutrient delivery and suggest that trophic mediation may play an important role in stabilising nutrient utilisation in predatory mite rearing systems. The study provides new insight by demonstrating that micronutrient delivery route, rather than vitamin supplementation alone, is a key determinant of predator demographic performance.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s000748532610131x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,14]],"date-time":"2026-09-14T07:03:32Z","timestamp":1789369412000},"page":"1-13","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Direct and prey-mediated vitamin supplementation reshape predator\u2013prey dynamics in\n                    <i>Amblyseius swirskii<\/i>\n                    (Acari: Phytoseiidae)"],"prefix":"10.1017","author":[{"given":"Marziye","family":"Jahanbazi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/03mwgfy56","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Tarbiat Modares University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arash","family":"Zibaee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/01bdr6121","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"University of Guilan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7963-5409","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yaghoub","family":"Fathipour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"id":[{"id":"https:\/\/ror.org\/03mwgfy56","id-type":"ROR","asserted-by":"publisher"}],"name":"Tarbiat Modares University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"S000748532610131X_ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/ba-1982-0200.ch013"},{"key":"S000748532610131X_ref7","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Monographs on Statistics and Applied Probability","volume":"57","author":"Efron","year":"1993"},{"key":"S000748532610131X_ref21","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/srep11871"},{"key":"S000748532610131X_ref2","unstructured":"Chi, H (2023) TWOSEX-MSChart: A Computer Program for the Age-Stage, Two-Sex Life Table Analysis.
