Generalist predators function as pest specialists: Examining diet composition of spiders and ladybeetles across rice crop stages

By quantifying the diet composition of GAPs over crop stages, farm types and years, this study reveals that generalist predators have potential to produce a stable, predictable top‐down effect on pests in rice agro‐ecosystems. Therefore, promoting the field densities of ubiquitous generalist predators will likely enhance pest management and support ...

As a result, we clarified the variation in isotope ratios at the individual level, and indicated that this variation is affected by attributes such as sex or dominance‐subordinate relationships in this group ...
