Other claims from this paper (10)
- Observation At low aphid densities, growth was undetectable in individual plots.
- Observation At high densities, aphid populations grew exponentially in individual plots.
- Association At high densities, aphid growth rates did not decline as density increased in individual plots.
- Observation Pooled plot data consistently showed significant aphid growth.
- Association Growth rates in pooled data declined significantly at the highest densities.
- Observation Estimated intrinsic increase for M. dirhodum ranged from 0.010 to 0.026.
- Observation Estimated intrinsic increase for R. padi ranged from 0.0071 to 0.011.
- Observation Estimated intrinsic increase for S. avenae ranged from 0.00078 to 0.0061 on leaves.
- Mechanism The authors attributed apparent absent growth at low plot densities to small samples.
- Mechanism The authors concluded that the natural enemy ravine reflects undetectable increase at low densities unless samples are very large.
