Functional Responses of the Warehouse Pirate Bug <i>Xylocoris flavipes</i> (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) on a Diet of <i>Liposcelis decolor</i> (Pearman) (Psocodea: Liposcelid... by Augustine Bosomtwe, George Opit, Kristopher Giles, Brad Kard, Carla Goad

“…Maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of a logistic regression analysis showed that the functional responses of the life stages of <i>X. flavipes</i> on diets of three stages of <i>L. decolor</i> were Holling Type II. Estimates of the attack rate (<i>a</i>), handling time (<i>Th</i>), maximum predation (<i>K</i>) per day, and predation efficiency (<i>η</i>) per day for the two predator life stages against each prey life stage showed that the adult♀ <i>X. flavipes</i> predation rate was better compared with the nymphs. …”
