• Alternative prey disrupt biocontrol by a guild of generalist predators (2005, background): “Alternative prey in agricultural systems may improve generalist predator survival when target pests are rare (Ehler and Miller, 1978; Eubanks and Denno, 2000a; Riechert and Lockley, 1984; Settle et al., 1996) or improve fecundity and speed development by supplying additional nutrition (Halaj and…”
• Assimilation of carbon and nitrogen from pollen and nectar by a predaceous larva and its effects on growth and development (2003, background): “…quality of non-prey foods can be highly variable (Kiman & Yeargan, 1985; Ruberson et al., 1986; Coll, 1996; Weiser & Stamp, 1998; Crum et al., 1998; Eubanks & Denno, 1999, 2000a,b; Roulston et al., 2000), and that an omnivore’s preference for various diet items is complex and may differ according…”
• Functional and numerical responses do not always indicate the most effective predator for biological control: an analysis of two predators in a two‐prey system (2002, background): “Theoretical contributions to the effects of alternative prey on the population dynamics of a target prey have focused on the functional and numerical response (Chesson 1989; Foglar, Malausa & Wajnberg 1990; Eubanks & Denno 2000 ).”
• MIGHT NITROGEN LIMITATION PROMOTE OMNIVORY AMONG CARNIVOROUS ARTHROPODS (2003, background): “High quality alternative food may maintain large omnivore populations that continue to suppress populations of prey (Eubanks and Denno 2000) and perhaps those of competing carnivores (M. E. Hay, personal communication).”
