Molecular identification of predation by carabid beetles on exotic and native slugs in a strawberry agroecosystem

2011-03-01

Abstract excerpt

Generalist predators have the capacity to exert significant pressure on prey populations. However, integrating them into biological control programs relies on a detailed understanding of their foraging behavior and the levels of trophic connectedness with pest species. Carabid beetles are important predators of slugs, pests of agricultural, floricultural and horticultural crops worldwide, but these interactions ha...
