This study compares Amblyseius swirskii populations over a decade, revealing implications for biocontrol efficacy.

Long-term captivity did not compromise the demographic performance of Amblyseius swirskii.
The highest intrinsic rate of increase was observed in the Koppert-old population when fed mixed pollen.
Koppert-new population exhibited the lowest predation rate but stable reproductive traits.
Results highlight the need for assessing biocontrol agents like Amblyseius swirskii in different conditions.

Jahanbazi et al. (2025) studied this question.
