El Aalaoui, M., & Sbaghi, M. 2025 Temperature-dependent predation capacity and functional response of two ladybird beetles and a predatory mite on Dactylopius opuntiae (Cockerell) (Hemiptera: Dactylopiidae). Biocontrol Science and Technology 0: 1-20
Keywords:
Notes: This study investigates the functional response and predation capacity of three potential predators – C. montrouzieri, H. trifurcata, and A. swirskii – on D. opuntiae under different temperature conditions. We also seek to identify the ideal temperature for peak predation and examine how varying predator densities influence interference effects. https://doi.org/10.1080/09583157.2025.2548443
