Indirect effects of primary prey population dynamics on alternative prey [PDF]
Theoretical Population Biology, 2015 We develop a theory of generalist predation showing how alternative prey species are affected by changes in both mean abundance and variability (coefficient of variation) of their predator’s primary prey.

FUNCTIONAL RESPONSES: A QUESTION OF ALTERNATIVE PREY AND PREDATOR DENSITY [PDF]
Ecology, 2007 Throughout the study of ecology, there has been a growing realization that indirect effects among species cause complexity in food webs. Understanding and predicting the behavior of ecosystems consequently depends on our ability to identify indirect ...

Global stability of predator-prey system with alternative prey. [PDF]
ISRN Biotechnol, 2013 A predator-prey model in presence of alternative prey is proposed. Existence and local stability conditions for interior equilibrium points are derived. Global stability conditions for interior equilibrium points are also found.

Alternative prey impedes the efficacy of a natural enemy of mosquitoes [PDF]
Biological Control, 2020 Adaptive foraging behaviour in the presence of multiple prey types may mediate stability to predator-prey relationships. For biological control agents, the presence of alternative prey may thus reduce ecological impacts towards target organisms ...

Parasites as prey: the effect of cercarial density and alternative prey on consumption of cercariae by four non-host species [PDF]
Parasitology, 2017 In parasites with complex life cycles the transmission of free-living infective stages can be influenced by ambient community diversity, in particular via predation.

Mathematical and Dynamic Analysis of a Prey-Predator Model in the Presence of Alternative Prey with Impulsive State Feedback Control [PDF]
Discrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2012 The dynamic complexities of a prey-predator system in the presence of alternative prey with impulsive state feedback control are studied analytically and numerically.

Alternative prey mediate intraguild predation in the open field.
Pest Management Science, 2022 BACKGROUND Generalist predators that kill and eat other natural enemies can weaken biological control. However, pest suppression can be disrupted even if actual intraguild predation is infrequent, if predators reduce their foraging to lower their risk of

Comptes Rendus - Biologies, 2010 Within the framework of a general equilibrium model we study the long-run dynamics of a prey-predator model in the presence of an alternative prey. Our results show that sustainability, i.e. a positive value of the population in the long run, essentially depends on individual harvesting efforts and digesting factors relative to alternative prey.

Journal of Zoology, 2019 © 2019 The Zoological Society of London Many predators specialize on one or several prey species that they select from the range of potential prey. Predator specialization on primary versus alternative prey is driven in part by encounter rates with prey ...

Alternative Prey and Artificial Diet of the Multicolored Asian Lady Beetle Harmonia axyridis: A Review [PDF]
InsectsAs an important natural enemy insect, Harmonia axyridis has significant biological control effects on a variety of pests such as aphids in agroforestry ecosystems. The large-scale application of H. axyridis has long been limited by the unstable supply of
