Functional Response of Harmonia axyridis to the Larvae of Spodoptera litura: The Combined Effect of Temperatures and Prey Instars
Functional responses are central to predator–prey dynamics and describe how predation
varies with prey abundance. Functional responses often are measured without regard to …
