- Observation All field-collected Agonum muelleri adults climbed up and down soybean plants multiple times.
- Observation Agonum muelleri spent 12.5 +/- 3.4% to 54.1 +/- 11.3% of its time on soybean plants.
- Mechanism The presence of predators had an indirect effect on the density of nymphal aphids by reducing the numbers of adult aphids.
