“…The C. caligata second instar larvae exhibited higher consumption of R. indica eggs and immatures than did the C. caligata first instar larvae, but prey consumption did not differ between the second and third instar larvae of the predator. Although some studies have shown no increase in prey consumption rate as the predator developed (Atlıhan, Kaydan & Özgökçe, 2004; Chen & Liu, 2001; Fonseca, Carvalho & Souza, 2000; Huang & Enkegaard, 2010), our findings are consistent with the results of some other studies (Jose-Pablo et al, 2017; Sultan & Khan, 2014). The buccal apparatus of C. caligata is equipped with a sclerotized, elongate, acutely pointed, and serrated jaw (McEwen, New & Whittington, 2007) that can easily penetrate R. indica of all developmental stages.…”

“…In the present investigation, as previously demonstrated for other lacewing species (Hassanpour et al, 2011; Hassanpour et al, 2009; Sultan & Khan, 2014), immature-stage individuals of the lacewing C. caligata chiefly showed type II functional responses. Second instar C. caligata individuals preying upon eggs and immatures of R. indica showed type III responses.…”

“…Second instar C. caligata individuals preying upon eggs and immatures of R. indica showed type III responses. Variation in functional response type can be partially explained by several factors including variation in the size and density of both prey and predator (Aljetlawi, Sparrevik & Leonardsson, 2004; González-Suárez et al, 2011; Hassanpour et al, 2015; Hassanpour et al, 2011; Hassell, Lawton & Beddington, 1977; Kabissa et al, 1996; Milonas, Kontodimas & Martinou, 2011; Sultan & Khan, 2014). It is known that body size plays a crucial role in predator–prey interactions (Aljetlawi, Sparrevik & Leonardsson, 2004; Thorp et al, 2018).…”

Background Compared to chemical control, the use of naturally occurring biological agents to control invasive pests is less threatening to the environment and human health. Objectives Here, we assessed the ability of immature stages of the lacewing Ceraeochrysa caligata (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) to prey upon different developmental stages of the red palm mite Raoiella indica (Acari: Tenuipalpidae), one of the most destructive invasive pests of palm trees in Neotropical regions. Methods Increasing densities of three stages of R. indica (eggs, immature stages, and adult females) were offered to C. caligata in coconut leaf arenas. The immature stages of C. caligata were less than 24 h old and were starved before being transferring to the arenas. The amount of prey consumed was recorded 6 h after releasing the C. caligata. Results Our results indicated that the ability of C. caligata to feed upon R. indica increased with the larval development of the predator. Higher feeding levels and shorter handling times were recorded for the first and second instars of C. caligata when preying upon the eggs and immature stages of R. indica. Furthermore, C. caligata individuals of different stages exhibited differential functional responses according to prey type (i.e., eggs, immatures, or adult females of R. indica). Ceraeochrysa caligata second instar individuals exhibited a sigmoid increase in consumption rate with increasing prey availability (i.e., a type III functional response) when preying upon immature stages of R. indica. However, when preying upon R. indica adult females, C. caligata second instar individuals exhibited a type II functional response (i.e., an increase in consumption rate with increasing prey availability, before reaching a plateau). Predator individuals of the first and third instar stages exhibited a type II functional response for all prey types. Conclusions Collectively, our findings demonstrate that C. caligata, especially at the second instar stage, has potential as a tool for ecological management of the red palm mite.

“…Known as the predator's functional response it may fall into one of five categories; Type-I (linear till threshold prey density is attained), Type-II (curvilinear), Type-III (sigmoidal) (Holling, 1959), Type-IV (dome shaped) (Bressendorff & Toft, A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 2011), or Type-V (negative exponential) (Sabelis, 1992) shapes. Biocontrol species, for example ladybirds, commonly display Type-II responses (Omkar& Kumar, 2012;Kumar G et al, 2014;Sultan & Khan, 2014), with only a few reporting Type-III responses (e.g. Abdollahi et al, 2010).…”

Individuals of the same species, population and generation frequently exhibit sub maximal and significant genetic and phenotypic variation in their rate of development, showing slow and fast developers. Fast developers commonly have higher foraging and predation rates than slow developers.The consequence of such differences and foraging for the efficacy of biocontrol species remains underexplored.Slow and fast developers from a population of the ladybird, Propylea dissecta were separated and selected experimentally for F15 generations, and the predatory response of fourth instar larvae of control and experimentally selected slow and fast developers was then assessed at differing levels of prey (pea aphid, Acyrthosiphon pisum) and conspecific predator abundance. All individuals, whether slow or fast developers, showed a Type-II functional response, decrease in proportion of prey consumed with increasing prey biomass, and an increase in proportion of prey consumed with increasing predator density.The proportion of prey consumed was highest in experimental fast developers and lowest in experimental slow developers. Attack rate was highest and handling time longest in slow developers of control/experimental groups. Mutual interference was least while area of discovery was highest in experimental fast developers. Thus, selection of fast developers for F15 generations led to higher functional responses, slower attackrates, and faster prey consumption. Thislower mutual interference and high searching efficiency indicates that they can be experimentally selected and used for better control of the pea aphids. This study is the first attempt to evaluate predatory responses of selected lines of an aphidophagous ladybird.

Development rate polymorphism describes the scenario in which individuals exhibit distinct differences in their rate of development resulting in slow and fast developers even from the same clutch of eggs. Previously we showed that in ladybird, Propylea dissecta fast developers have higher foraging and predation rates than slow developers. But correlation between foraging efficacies with reproductive output of female remains unexplored. We selected slow and fast developmental rate for 15 generations in a P. dissecta and assessed female functional response and numerical response by using varying prey biomasses (A. pisum). We evaluated predatory parameters: prey consumption, attack rate, handling time, and the reproductive measures: number of eggs laid, egg, and body biomass conversion efficiencies. Overall, both group of P. dissecta showed increased prey biomasses curvilinear for consumption rate demonstrating the physiological capacity of foraging for food are mutually exclusive behaviors (i.e., Holling's Type-II functional response). Consumption rate and proportion of prey consumed was higher, and prey handling time was shorter, in experimental fast developers. However, prey attack rate was higher in experimental slow developers. The functional response of experimental fast developers got elevated whereas got depressed for control slow-fast developers. Our results suggest that slow developers may perform better at low prey biomass than fast developers due to their high attack rate whereas high density prey may favour fast developers due to their shorter prey handling time and higher consumption rates. This study is first attempt to evaluate predatory responses of experimentally selected lines of slow and fast developers. J. Exp. Zool. 323A: 745-756, 2015. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
