Biological control (Print), 2019 Species of soil predatory mites feed on a diverse diet making them excellent biocontrol candidates for conservation biocontrol programs. Free-living nematodes (FLN) are commonly found in soils and serve as prey for many soil predatory mites, but as far ...

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2005 Reproduction and longevity of Supputius cincticeps (Stål) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) fed on Zophobas confusa Gebien, Tenebrio molitor L. (Coleoptera: Tenebrionidae) or Musca domestica (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae) larvae were studied during two generations ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Many chemically defended aposematic species are characterized by relatively low toxin levels, which enables predators to include them in their diets under certain circumstances.

European Journal of Entomology, 2008 The predatory lacewing Dichochrysa prasina Burmeister can feed and reproduce on various aphid species. However, other species such as the two spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae Koch may serve as an alternative prey for this predator in the field in ...

Predator discrimination of prey promotes the predator-mediated coexistence of prey species
Royal Society Open Science, 2022 The predator discrimination of prey can affect predation intensity and the prey density dependence of predators, which has the potential to alter the coexistence of prey species.

Optimal-foraging predator favors commensalistic Batesian mimicry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 BACKGROUND:Mimicry, in which one prey species (the Mimic) imitates the aposematic signals of another prey (the Model) to deceive their predators, has attracted the general interest of evolutionary biologists.

THE EFFECT OF ALTERNATIVE PREY ON THE DYNAMICS OF IMPERFECT BATESIAN AND MÜLLERIAN MIMICRIES [PDF]
Evolution, 2004 Both Batesian and Müllerian mimicries are considered classical evidence of natural selection where predation pressure has, at times, created a striking similarity between unrelated prey species. Batesian mimicry, in which palatable mimics resemble unpalatable aposematic species, is parasitic and only beneficial to the mimics.

A simple predator–prey model of exploited marine fish populations incorporating alternative prey [PDF]
ICES Journal of Marine Science, 1996 A simple two-species population model in which the predator is partially coupled to the prey is developed. The model is an extension of traditional two-species models but less complex than a three-species system. The growth rate of the predator depends upon predation on the modeled and alternate prey; this formulation provides greater realism in ...

Temporal patterns of main and alternative prey deliveries at a Eurasian kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) nest [PDF]
, 2022 Prey switching is an important part of predator feeding and breeding ecology since prey populations and therefore prey availability is dynamic. Deliveries of prey made by the Eurasian kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) breeding in a nest box in southern Norway,
