The article reviews predators that are able to control populations of mosquito larvae
(Culicidae) in phytotelmata and their anthropogenic analogs. The spectrum of mosquito …

BACKGROUND Predation plays a pivotal role in the composition and functioning of
ecosystems. Both habitat complexity and predator density are important contexts which may …

Mosquitoes have been a nuisance and health threat to humans for centuries due to their
ability to transmit different infectious diseases. Biological control methods have emerged as …

Natural enemies can play a critical role in regulating pests, with simplified ecosystems often
favoring pest proliferation via reduced predation pressure. As predator-predator interactions …

Intraguild predation (IGP) is common in the freshwater insect communities, involving a top
predator, intraguild prey (IG prey) and a shared prey. Influence of the habitat complexity on …

1. Interactions between multiple predators can modify prey risk and profoundly alter
ecological community dynamics. Further, ontogenic prey size changes are known to mediate …

The indirect interactions among multiple prey sharing a common predator characterize
apparent competition. In conservation biological control involving mosquitoes and …

The larval stage of culicid mosquitoes are the main food resource of notonectides in aquatic
systems. Prey alternation and abundance can significantly affect predator-prey interaction …

The strength of trophic and non-trophic interactions in predator–prey dynamics may be
modified by predator density/diversity and prey size characteristics. In aquatic environments …

Los heterópteros Nepomorpha y Gerromorpha son muy diversos, principalmente en
ecosistemas acuáticos neotropicales; sin embargo, su composición en los lagos de los …
