INFLUENCE OF HABITAT COMPLEXITY ON THE PREY MORTALITY IN IGP SYSTEM INVOLVING INSECT PREDATORS (HETEROPTERA) AND PREY (DIPTERA): IMPLICATIONS IN BIOLOGICAL CONTROL.

Influence of habitat complexity on the prey mortality in IGP system involving insect predators (Heteroptera) and prey (Diptera): Implications in biological control.

Intraguild predation (IGP) is common in the freshwater insect communities, involving a top predator, intraguild prey (IG prey) and a shared prey.Influence of the habitat complexity on the prey-predator interactions is well established through several studies.In the present instance, the Soft Doll IGP involving the heteropteran predators and the dip
