Intraguild Predation among the Hoverfly Episyrphus balteatus de Geer (Diptera: Syrphidae) and Other Aphidophagous Predators
TLDR
It is suggested that combinations of predators must be carefully chosen for success in biological control of aphids where more than one predator species is present.About:

Ecological consequences of interactions between ants and honeydew-producing insects.
John D. Styrsky,Micky D. Eubanks +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that ant–hemipteran interactions are largely overlooked and underappreciated interspecific interactions that have strong and pervasive effects on the communities in which they are embedded.
Journal ArticleDOI
Asymmetric larval interactions between introduced and indigenous ladybirds in North America
TL;DR: The results suggest that HA more than CS may represent a threat to indigenous ladybirds as an intraguild predator, and that IGP in turn may play a stronger role for HA than for C. septempunctata in promoting the successful invasion of North America.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intraguild predation among aphidophagous predators
TL;DR: It appears that intraguild predation may constitute one of the main forces influencing the structure and dynamics of aphidophagous guilds, and therefore it has to be taken into account in research studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of intraguild predation on the survival and development of three species of aphidophagous ladybirds: consequences for invasive species.
Satoru Sato,Anthony F. G. Dixon +1 more
TL;DR: Survival and development of hatchling larvae of three aphidophagous ladybirds, Harmonia axyridis Pallas, Coccinella septempunctata brucki Mulsant and Adalia bipunctata Linnaeus, when fed their own and the other species eggs were recorded.
Journal Article
Searching and oviposition behavior of aphidophagous hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae): a review
TL;DR: Les femelles de syrphes predateurs ont une forte mobilite qui leur permet de distribuer les œufs sur de larges territoires, and of localiser les colonies de pucerons plus tot dans la saison que les autres predateurs aphidiphages.

The Problem of Pattern and Scale in Ecology: The Robert H. MacArthur Award Lecture
TL;DR: The second volume in a series on terrestrial and marine comparisons focusing on the temporal complement of the earlier spatial analysis of patchiness and pattern was published by Levin et al..
Book
The Ecological Implications of Body Size
TL;DR: In this paper, a philosophical introduction is given to logarithms, power curves, and correlations, and a mathematical primer: logarsithm, power curve and correlations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatial Scaling in Ecology
TL;DR: Acts in what Hutchinson (1965) has called the 'ecological theatre' are played out on various scales of space and time and to understand the drama, one must view it on the appropriate scale.
Journal ArticleDOI
Herbivory in relation to plant nitrogen content
TL;DR: The evidence that N is scarce and perhaps a limiting nutrient for many herbivores, and that in response to this selection pressure, many Herbivores have evolved specific behavioral, morphological, physiological, and other adaptations to cope with and uti lize the ambient N levels of their normal haunts is examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
THE ECOLOGY AND EVOLUTION OF INTRAGUILD PREDATION: Potential Competitors That Eat Each Other
TL;DR: The purpose is to document the ubiquity and importance of intraguild predation and to establish a theoretical framework for its analysis, which is the first synthesis of IGP into a general work.
