Intraguild predation alters life histories in <scp> <i>Neoseiulus barkeri</i> </scp> and <scp> <i>Scolothrips takahashii</i> </scp> : asymmetric effects on development and reproduction
IGP differentially alters the population parameters and predation capacity of these two species. Neoseiulus barkeri experiences a decline in population growth, whereas S. takahashii benefits from IGP. These findings highlight species-specific adaptive strategies in response to IGP, providing insights for designing compatible multipredator application programs in biological control. © 2026 Society of Chemical Industry.
