pest control

predation

predator-prey interaction

Predation is a crucial interaction in ecosystems, transferring energy between trophic levels, enhancing ecosystem stability through its impact on herbivore populations, promoting species diversity, and exerting evolutionary pressure. Predation may also provide benefits for humans: preying on pest species translates into biological control with enormous economic value. Ecologists have long sought to quantify predation, which is challenging, especially by and on invertebrates.
