Impact of food scarcity on the foraging dynamics of Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) Impacto da escassez de alimentos na dinâmica de forrageamento de Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Starvation duration alters predatory behaviour of Eriopis connexa, affecting aphid consumption and survival dynamics.
