MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are central players of the regulation of gene expression in Eukaryotes. The repertoires of miRNA genes vary drastically even among closely related species, indicating that they are evolutionarily labile. However, the processes by which they originate over the course of evolution and the nature of their progenitors across the genome remain poorly understood.

Typhlodromus (Anthoseius) recki feeds on pest mites on tomato plants and its introduction into crops via companion plants, Mentha suaveolens and Phlomis fruticosa, has been recently investigated. This study aims at assessing the predator arrestment behavior, through lab choice tests to determine the effects of (i) prey (Aculops lycopersici and Tetranychus urticae) vs Typha angustifolia pollen deposited on companion plant or Solanum nigrum, (ii) T. urticae vs A.
