“…Considering that invertebrates comprise much of the global terrestrial animal biomass (Williams, 1960;May, 2000), the importance of invertebrate carrion as a resource for scavenging predators has received surprisingly little attention. Many predatory invertebrates can engage in facultative scavenging, including Amphipoda (Ide et al, 2006), Coleoptera (Sunderland and Sutton, 1980;Juen and Traugott, 2005), Decapoda (Wolcott, 1978), Dermaptera (Sunderland and Sutton, 1980), Diptera (Foltan et al, 2005), Hemiptera (Velasco and Millan, 1998), Hymenoptera ), Isopoda (Barradas-Ortiz et al, 2003, Litobiomorpha (Sunderland and Sutton, 1980), Neuroptera (Foltan et al, 2005) and Opiliones (Sunderland and Sutton, 1980). Several studies have identified ants as key scavengers of small invertebrate carrion (Fellers and Fellers, 1982;Fellers, 1987;Retana et al, 1991).…”
