Results of generalized linear models (GLMs) on the influence of population origin (commercially mass-reared versus natural free-living), rearing diet (pollen versus spider mites), and thrips experience (yes/no) on the attack latency, total number of eggs, time of first egg and aggregated activity of adult females of the predatory mite <i>Amblyseius swirskii</i>.

Model selection was based on the lowest QIC values, reached by sequentially removing non-significant interaction terms from the full model.
