Body Size And Habitat Shading Influence The Consumptive And Non-Consumptive Effects Of Wood Frog (lithobates Sylvaticus) Tadpoles On Aquatic Invertebrate Communities
<p>Consumptive (direct) effects of predation have been well-studied in most aquatic systems, but non-consumptive (indirect) effects on prey have only recently received limited attention in some groups. As aquatic consumers, tadpoles have traditionally been considered strict herbivores, leaving …

UNDERSTANDING NON-TARGET INSECTICIDE IMPACTS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR BIOLOGICAL CONTROL IN FIELD CORN
… and a slug predatory carabid species may exert non-consumptive effects on a pest slug. Finally, I determined that a predatory lady beetle species is likely less susceptible to RNAi oral exposure in the adult stage. However, RNAi may still pose risks to predators via trophic exposure. My work …

LOCAL AND LANDSCAPE DRIVERS OF BIOLOGICAL PEST CONTROL IN AGRICULTURAL SYSTEMS
… positive relationships with the proportion of non-crop habitats, while other species show the opposite response. Such contrasting responses create the potential for counterbalancing effects for pest control, where strategies to reduce one species may increase the abundance of another. Chapter 2 …
