Influence of habitat complexity on the prey mortality in IGP system involving insect predators (Heteroptera) and prey (Diptera): Implications in biological control
Fig 6
Mortality of IG prey (A. bouvieri) in presence of different shared prey (A. mosquito larvae and B. chironomid larvae) in complex habitat conditions (v–vegetation, p–pebbles and v+p—vegetation and pebbles) against open conditions expressed as a ratio (k–value, mean ± SE) for the three IG predators, in IGP system, in two density (L– 2 individuals and H—4 individuals) under low and (50 individuals) and high (200 individuals) prey density. The horizontal lines in each graph represents the value of 1.
