Collembola as alternative prey sustaining spiders in arable ecosystems: prey detection within predators using molecular markers
Tóm tắt
Collembola comprise a major source of alternative prey to linyphiid spiders in arable fields, helping to sustain and retain these predators as aphid control agents within the crop. Polymerase chain reaction primers were developed for the amplification, from spider gut samples, of DNA from three of the most abundant species of Collembola in wheat crops in Europe, namely
