The life history and feeding habits of Lasioseius scapulatus, an ascid predator and potential biocontrol agent of nematodes, was examined. Reproduction was asexual, and the life cycle was 8-10 days at room temperature. Life history consisted of the egg, protonymph, deutonymph, and adult. Both nymphal stages and the adult captured and consumed nematodes. Two fungal genera and eight genera of nematodes were suitable food sources. Second-stage root-knot nematode juveniles were eaten, but eggs and adult females were not. The mite fed voraciously on nematodes and drastically reduced Aphelenchus avenae populations in vitro. It is suggested that mites are of considerable importance in the ecology of certain nematodes.
对一种海鞘捕食者——肩胛懒甲螨（Lasioseius scapulatus）的生活史和取食习性进行了研究，它是线虫的潜在生物防治剂。其繁殖为无性繁殖，在室温下生命周期为8 - 10天。生活史包括卵、第一若螨、第二若螨和成螨。若螨阶段和成螨均能捕获并取食线虫。两个真菌属和八个线虫属是合适的食物来源。根结线虫的二期幼虫会被取食，但卵和雌成虫不会。这种螨对线虫有强烈的捕食作用，在体外能显著减少燕麦真滑刃线虫（Aphelenchus avenae）的数量。研究表明，螨在某些线虫的生态中具有相当重要的作用。
