“…According to Sih and Christensen (2001), capture success will depend on prey and predator mobility, and the susceptibility to be consumed upon capture will depend on the defensive prey behaviours; prey having better escape responses are less prone to be consumed. Thus, prey mobility and their defensive behaviours can influence prey selection and capture (Eubanks and Denno 2000;Provost et al 2006). Aphids are known to exhibit a wide range of behavioural (e.g.…”

“…On the other hand, insecticides can indirectly induce modifications on the dynamic predator/prey, through changes in the state and behaviour of the aphid colony that will influence relative prey value and consequently the predator's active choice (Sih and Christensen 2001). In addition, reductions (or absence) in the mobility and of defensive responses by the aphids can influence the predator's choice, as shown by several authors (Eubanks and Denno 2000;Sih and Christensen 2001;Provost et al 2006).…”

Voracity of Coccinella undecimpunctata: effects of insecticides when foraging in a prey/plant system

2011

Coccinella undecimpunctata L. is a euryphagous predator established in Azores that offers interesting potential as a control agent in the context of integrated pest management (IPM). However, to further develop IPM against aphids, it is important to evaluate the effects that insecticides might have on voracity. Thus, we proposed to evaluate the effects of pirimicarb and pymetrozine on the voracity of 4th instar larvae and adults of C. undecimpunctata, under distinct scenarios of exposure to chemicals within a prey/plant system. Voracity of C. undecimpunctata was not significantly affected by pirimicarb or pymetrozine when treatments were directly sprayed on the predator; however, when insecticides were sprayed on the prey/plant system, the predator's voracity was significantly increased. Results suggest that C. undecimpunctata does not detect the insecticide on the aphids and indicate that the increase in voracity may be due to a decrease in the mobility of insecticide-treated aphids, since their capture should be easier than highly mobile non-treated prey. The consequences of such increase in the voracity for IPM programs are discussed.

“…On the other hand, passive selection is the result of predation opportunity based on prey physical and/or behavioural characteristics (vulnerability), rather than an active selection. For example, the mobility of different prey species may influence their encounter rates with a predator and thus influence their susceptibility to predation (Provost et al 2006). Most reduviids are predators of insect pests of agricultural as well as forest vegetation.…”

Reduviids are the largest group of pest-specific, efficient hemipteran predators of economically important insect pests worldwide. They are found in the agroecosystems, semi-arid zones, scrub jungles and tropical rain forests. Reduviid predators have been distributed in various crops like soybean, groundnut, pigeon pea, cotton, castor, rice, cabbage, tobacco, pumpkin, bhindi, citrus, sugar cane, sesbania and apple and in secondary and tropical evergreen forests in many parts of the world. In natural and plantation forests, reduviids are living at various heights on vegetation but also in bird nests, caves and spider webs. Their success in every ecosystem/ trophic niche is due to their morphological and physiological adaptations related to the predation. Reduviids are efficient predators on insect pests of crops, playing a significant role in keeping pest populations in check. Some important biological control agents are Platymeris laevicollis Distant, Zelus renardii Kolenati, Rhynocoris marginatus (Fab.), Rhynocoris kumarii Ambrose and Livingstone, Rhynocoris fuscipes (Fab.), Pristhesancus plagipennis Walker, Blaptostethus pallescens Poppius, Acanthaspis pedestris (Stål), Catamiarus brevipennis (Serville), Ectomocoris tibialis (Distant), etc.Even though reduviids are polyphagous predators, many have prey specialisations. Its biological control potential has been evaluated on crops like cotton, soybean, groundnut, bhindi and coconut in field and laboratory experiments and is being commonly used in biological control programmes. Distribution pattern, morphological characters, prey specificity and biological control potential under laboratory, field cage and natural field conditions have been discussed in elaborate manner.

Permanence, Periodicity and Extinction of a Delayed Biological System with Stage-Structured Preference for Predator

This study considers a delayed biological system of predator-prey interactions where the predator has stage-structured preference. It is assumed that the prey population has two stages: immature and mature. The predator population has different preference for the stage-structured prey. This type of behavior has been reported in Asecodes hispinarum and Microplitis mediator. By some lemmas and methods of delay differential equation, the conditions for the permanence, existence of positive periodic solution and extinction of the system are obtained. Numerical simulations are presented that illustrate the analytical results as well as demonstrate certain biological phenomena. In particular, overcrowding of the predator does not affect the persistence of the system, but our numerical simulations suggest that overcrowding reduces the density of the predator. Under the assumption that immature prey is easier to capture, our simulations suggest that the predator's preference for immature prey increases the predator density.
