Oviposition preference of two hoverfly species in response to risk of intraguild predation
Two experiments were performed in the laboratory to understand the relationships between oviposition preference and larval performance of the two predatory hoverfly species, Episyrphus balteatus de Geer and Metasyrphus corollae Fabricius. We first conducted laboratory experiments to understand the nature and relative strengths of intraguild predation between the larvae of three ladybird species...
متن کاملPredation in two species of leech under laboratory conditions
Two 60 day experiments on predation behavior of leeches were conducted concurrently. In the first, medicinal leeches, Hirudo orientalis (Utevsky and Trontelj, 2005) were fed to satiation on bovine blood and subsequently transferred into two large opaque plastic containers of equal size but with differing temperatures, 6-7?C and 23-24?C, containing starved Erpobdella octoculata (L.). At the high...

15 صفحه اولSpecies coexistence in a food web with intraguild predation
We studied species coexistence in a protist community consisting of a bacterial resource, five protist consumers, and an intraguild predator, Blepharisma americanum. Spatial heterogeneity was manipulated by constructing spatial arrays of interlinked bottles. In the heterogeneous treatment species were permitted to disperse naturally between bottles whereas in the homogenous treatment half the w...
متن کاملThreat-sensitive anti-intraguild predation behaviour: maternal strategies to reduce offspring predation risk in mites
Predation is a major selective force for the evolution of behavioural characteristics of prey. Predation among consumers competing for food is termed intraguild predation (IGP). From the perspective of individual prey, IGP differs from classical predation in the likelihood of occurrence because IG prey is usually more rarely encountered and less profitable because it is more difficult to handle...
