Environmental complexity and predator density mediate a stable earwig-woolly apple aphid interaction
Regulation of insect pests by predators is an integral component of biological pest control. However, predator-prey interactions often reach a stable state leading to coexistence, which can be problematic for plant protection if the persisting herbivores exceed a damage threshold. Consequently, unde...
