The potential for invertebrate–vertebrate intraguild predation: the predatory relationship between wolf spiders (<i>Gladicosa pulchra</i>) and ground skinks (<i>Scincella lateralis</i>)

Abstract: Intraguild predation is described as predation among organisms that exploit similar resources. As wolf spiders (Araneae, Lycosidae) are generalist predators that share habitat and food resources with the ground skink Scincella lateralis, we conducted a series of laboratory experiments to determine if wolf spiders are capable of preying upon ground skinks. Wolf spiders (Gladicosa pulchra) successfully preyed on skinks during 3 of 20 encounters, but did not overtly respond to chemical stimuli from the skinks. Sk… Show more

“…As resources are limited across space and time, species often exploit different niches or partition shared resources [1][2][3]. However, in variable environments where resource availability can fluctuate spatially and temporally, or for members of an ecological guild, species frequently compete for access to the same resources [4][5][6]. An ecological guild groups species if they share resources or exploit them in a similar manner, irrespective of their phylogenetic relationships [4,[6][7][8][9].…”

An ecological guild groups species if they share resources or exploit them in a similar manner, irrespective of their phylogenetic relationships [4,[6][7][8][9]. For instance, insectivores and frugivores exemplify foraging guilds, while arboreal or fossorial animals represent habitat or microhabitat guilds [5,10].…”
