Biological pest control is becoming increasingly important for sustainable agriculture.
Although many species of natural enemies are already being used commercially, efficient …

In this paper, we argue that understanding marine ecosystem functioning requires a
thorough appreciation of the role of intraguild predation to system dynamics. The theoretical …

The relationship between omnivory and stability has been the subject of a longstanding
debate in ecology. Early theory predicted that omnivory would decrease the probability of …

Species coexistence in ecological communities is a central feature of biodiversity. Different
concepts, ie, contemporary niche theory, modern coexistence theory, and the unified neutral …

Intraguild predation (IGP) is an extreme form of competition that involves a dominant
predator (IG predator), a subordinate predator that is also a superior exploitative competitor …

Biologische bestrijding van plagen in kassen was lange tijd voornamelijk gericht op
specialistische natuurlijke vijanden die sterk zijn aangepast aan hun prooi. Gerben …

Although biologists routinely label animals as predators and prey, the ecological role of
individuals is often far from clear. There are many examples of role reversals in predators …

The poinsettia thrips, Echinothrips americanus Morgan, is an upcoming pest in greenhouse
crops, causing serious damage in various vegetable and ornamental crops through …

It is frequently observed that adult members of prey species sometimes use their predation
mechanism on juvenile members of predator species. Ecological literature describes this …

Intraguild predation (IGP) is a widespread ecological phenomenon in which two consumers
that share a resource also engage in a predator–prey interaction. Theory on IGP predicts the …
