Predatory activity and spatial pattern: the response of generalist carabids to their aphid prey
Open accessAbstract
Summary: The spatial distribution of cereal aphids infesting a field of winter wheat during the population establishment, development and decline phases were studied using a field‐scale grid of sampling locations. The distribution of two generalist predators,Pterostichus melanarius and P. madidus, were sampled contemporaneously. Using spatial analysis by distance indices (SADIE), spatial pattern in the aphid population, predator activity–density, predator hunger and aphid predation was detected and mapped. We tested the hypothesis that carabids and aphids were spatially associated with one another through predation. Aphid predation by individual beetles was detected using enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and hunger was assessed by measurement of foregut weights. Initially, there was a strong spatial dissociation between aphids and P. melanarius activity–density. While the aphid population was increasing there was a strong spatial association between aphids and both P. melanarius and P. madidus activity–density. During aphid population decline there was no measurable association between aphids and predatory activity–density. Predation of aphids was strongly locally associated with predator activity–density on all sample dates for both predator species, regardless of the association with aphid spatial pattern. Areas within the field most isolated from P. melanarius predation had the highest rates of aphid population increase. Although the proportion of P. melanarius individuals consuming aphids was much lower compared to P. madidus, it was concluded that it was a more effective biological control agent due to its comparative abundance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
