DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2018.04.005
Abstract: Intraguild (IG)-prey prefer to oviposit at sites with a low IG-predation risk of their offspring. However, IG-predators sometimes show oviposition preferences similar to those of IG-prey. In such cases, IG-prey eggs might need protection against… read more here.
