Temperature, humidity, and substrate: keys to red palm mite survival in the environment.
Article in Experimental & applied acarology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Bioclimatic variables are ecologically sensitive indicators that help define the physiological tolerance limits of animals. Mites, being minute organisms, often face constraints due to their limited mobility, restricting them to narrow environmental ranges. Nonetheless, certain species, such as the red palm mite (RPM), Raoiella indica Hirst, exhibit efficient dispersal capacities. This phytophagous invasive mite commonly disperses via wind currents, especially during dry periods. However, abandoning the host plant carries risks, as individuals may become exposed to adverse environmental conditions. In this study, we examined how temperature and relative humidity, combined with different substrates-host plants (Cocos nucifera), non-host plants (Canavalia ensiformis), and inert material (plastic pots-Bio-Serv incorporation cells)-affect the survival of R. indica. Our findings were: (1) elevated temperatures and low humidity significantly decreased R. indica survival when away from the host plant; (2) under tropical-like conditions (27 °C and 75% RH), mites survived for an average of 3.5 days; and (3) in greenhouse settings, R. indica longevity was 53 days on the host plant, 1 day on the non-host plant, and 3 days on inert material. These results indicate that both climatic conditions and substrate type critically influence R. indica survival following dispersal events.
