Compensatory growth following transient intraguild predation risk in predatory mites
Compensatory or catch-up growth following growth impairment caused by transient environmental stress, due to adverse abiotic factors or food, is widespread in animals. Such growth strategies commonly balance retarded development and reduced growth. They depend on the type of stressor but are unknown for predation risk, a prime selective force shaping life history. Anti-predator behaviours by im...
متن کاملAmbulatory and Aerial Dispersal Among Specialist and Generalist Predatory Mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae)
Predator-prey systems having a specialist predator often are over-exploitive, unstable and transient while similar systems having a generalist predator show less ßuctuation, more stability and regulation of prey at lower densities. These population dynamics also affect dispersal patterns between specialist and generalist predators. In this study, ambulatory and aerial dispersal were assessed fo...
متن کاملPredatory Identity Can Explain Nest Predation Patterns
Knowledge of dominant predators is necessary to identifY predation patterns and mitigate losses to nest predation, especially for endangered songbirds. We monitored songbird nests with timelapse infrared video cameras at Fort Hood Military Reservation, Texas, from 1997 to 2002 and 2005, and in Austin, Texas, during 2005, 2006, 2008, and 2009. Predation was the most common source of nest failure...
متن کاملCanalization of body size matters for lifetime reproductive success of male predatory mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae)
The adaptive canalization hypothesis predicts that highly fitness-relevant traits are canalized via past selection, resulting in low phenotypic plasticity and high robustness to environmental stress. Accordingly, we hypothesized that the level of phenotypic plasticity of male body size of the predatory mites Phytoseiulus persimilis (low plasticity) and Neoseiulus californicus (high plasticity) ...
متن کاملBIOLOGICAL CONTROL Response of the Predatory Mite Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks) to Volatiles Produced by Strawberry Plants in Response to Attack by Tetranychid Mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae: Tetranychidae)
The attack of phytophagous mites may induce plants to produce volatiles, which in turn may attract predators. The occurrence of multiple phytophagous infestations on plants may infl uence predator response. In this paper, we investigated whether the attraction of the predatory mite Phytoseiulus macropilis (Banks) to phytophagous-infested plants would change with the simultaneous presence of two...
