“…For instance, intraguild predation (IGP), trophic interactions between natural enemies sharing the same resource, may be common in agroecosystems and may influence the level of herbivore population suppression (Rosenheim et al, 1993Rosenheim, 1998;Raymond et al, 2000). Interactions between various combinations of intraguild natural enemies associated with aphids are known, such as IGP between parasitoids (Mackauer, 1990), between predators (Wheeler, 1977;Atim and Graham, 1984), between predators and parasitoids (Wheeler et al, 1968;Colfer and Rosenheim, 1995;Wells et al, 2001;Nakashima and Senoo, 2003;Nakashima et al, 2004) and between entomopathogens and parasitoids (Powell et al, 1986;Brooks, 1993). Thus, identifying the spatio-temporal patterns of each member of an aphidophagous guild is important to assess the functional role of the guild in controlling aphid abundance.…”
