Prey- and Density-Mediated Dispersal in Carcinops pumilio (Coleoptera: Histeridae), a Predator of House Fly (Diptera: Muscidae) Eggs and Larvae

Prey- and Density-Mediated Dispersal in Carcinops pumilio (Coleoptera: Histeridae), a Predator of House Fly (Diptera: Muscidae) Eggs and Larvae

Carcinops pumilio (Erichson) were collected using two trapping methods: a black light pitfall trap and a mesh-bottomed trap placed on poultry manure. C. pumilio collected with black lights and subsequently starved had a significantly higher dispersal rate during days 1-3 than fully fed groups. When...
