Size-dependent functional response of <i>Xenopus laevis</i> on mosquito larvae

2018-02-27

Abstract excerpt

Predators can play an important role in regulating prey abundance and diversity, determining food web structure and function, and contributing to important ecosystem services, including the regulation of agricultural pests and disease vectors. Thus, the ability to predict predator impact on prey is an important goal in ecology. Often predators of the same species are assumed to be functionally equivalent, despite...
