Molecular detection of field predation among larvae of two ladybird beetles is partially predicted from laboratory experiments
Abstract Despite the fact that natural enemies can synergistically contribute to herbivore pest suppression, sometimes predators engage in intraguild predation (IGP) that might dampen trophic cascades. DNA-based gut-content analysis has become common in assessing trophic connections and biocontrol p...
