Host plant effect on functional response and consumption rate of Episyrphus balteatus (Diptera: Syrphidae) feeding on different densities of Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae)of Aphis gossypii (Hemiptera: Aphididae)

One of the most important predator-prey interactions is functional response which its type and parameters are affected by different factors including host plant characteristics. In this research, the influence of leaf surface on functional response and prey consumption rate of third instar larvae of...
