Opposite latitudinal patterns for bird and arthropod predation revealed in experiments with differently colored artificial prey

Opposite latitudinal patterns for bird and arthropod predation revealed in experiments with differently colored artificial prey

Abstract The strength of biotic interactions is generally thought to increase toward the equator, but support for this hypothesis is contradictory. We explored whether predator attacks on artificial prey of eight different colors vary among climates and whether this variation affects the detection o...
