Description

Laboratory aquarium experiment using surgically modified (de-mented) dragonfly larvae to separate behavioral interference effects from direct predation effects on prey consumption.

Typical Equipment

• 38-L aquaria
• dissecting scissors
• CO₂ anesthetic (seltzer tablets)
• silica sand
• Myriophyllum spicatum stems

Output Measurements

• per-capita consumption rates
• damselfly survival
• behavioral interference effects
