“…Graham et al (1978a) have been labeled by adding RbCI to artificial diets. Thus, adults of Lepidoptera (Stimmann et al 1973, Graham & Wolfenbarger 1977, van Steenwyk et al 1978a) and of Diptera (McLean et al 1979, Burns et al 1983) have been successfully labeled with little effect on their biology when moderate levels of RbCI were used.…”

“…Graham et al, 1978a, b, Johnson & Reeves, 1995, Prasifka et al, 2001Kobelt et al, 2009) employed rubidium chloride marking of the prey and demonstrated reliable and long detectability (up to 8 days cited by Kobelt et al, 2009) of this metal in subsequently trapped predators, using Inductively Coupled Plasma -Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS). Unfortunately, the advantages of this method are offset by the complicated machinery required and the very high cost of the ICP-MS analysis (Willbur, 2005).…”

Abstract. We present a UV-fluorescent dye-based prey marking technique, using three different dyes, with later detection of the dyes in the guts of predators using a micro-plate fluorescent reader. By using this new method of detecting dyes based on their different excitation and emission characteristics it is possible to simultaneously screen 96 samples for multiple fluorescent-markers in less than 30 minutes. The marking is stable, cheap, non-toxic and had no effect on the choice of the carabid predator Pterostichus melanarius between marked and unmarked fly larvae (Musca domestica). Different fluorescent dyes provide variable detection intervals up to 100% detectability at 96 h post-ingestion by this predator. The simple marking, extraction and detection methods presented could be used in food web research to map individual trophic links and predator preference for different types of prey.

“…Insect dispersal is often studied by the marking, release, and recapture of insects that have either been collected from Þeld populations or reared in laboratory colonies (Southwood 1978, Graham et al 1978a). Critical to the success of such studies is formulating a marking technique that can be efÞciently applied, causes minimal disruption to the population, persists for a known length of time, and does not cause any negative Þtness effects (Akey 1991).…”
