This behavior makes micropredators suitable as vectors, as they can pass smaller parasites from one host to another. Most micropredators are hematophagic...

More specifically in botany, a host plant supplies food resources to micropredators, which have an evolutionarily stable relationship with their hosts similar...

freshwater fish and one of the smallest known percoid fish species. It is a micropredator, feeding on small aquatic crustaceans, worms, insect larvae and other...

trophically transmitted parasite, vector-transmitted parasite, and micropredator. These are adaptive peaks, with many possible intermediate strategies...

during the Cretaceous period. Evolutionary biologists view mosquitoes as micropredators, small animals that parasitise larger ones by drinking their blood without...

parasitoid wasps. Several groups of insects can be considered as either micropredators or external parasites; for example, many hemipteran bugs have piercing...

important pollinators, basal consumers, scavengers/detritivores and micropredators in terrestrial environments. Hexapods are named for their most distinctive...

just one occasion. There are other difficult and borderline cases. Micropredators are small animals that, like predators, feed entirely on other organisms;...

mammals that have evolved to feed exclusively on blood (hematophagy) as micropredators, a strategy within parasitism. Hematophagy is uncommon due to the number...

ectoparasites and parasitic castrators that live on its surface and micropredators like mosquitoes that visit intermittently. Parasitism is an extremely...

species shows no parental care. This species is omnivorous, it is a micropredator feeding on small invertebrates and zooplankton but it will also feed...

Bed bugs are parasitic insects from the genus Cimex, who are micropredators that feed on blood, usually at night. Their bites can result in a number of...

Gilbertian mimicry is in the plant genus Passiflora, which is grazed by the micropredator larvae of some Heliconius butterflies. The host plants have evolved...

parasite can be: a parasitic plant, a plant whose host is another plant a micropredator, a small external parasite of a plant This disambiguation page lists...

blood but the function of such behaviour is unclear. Leafhoppers are micropredators that can act as vectors transmitting plant pathogens, such as viruses...

or coordination are heavily present in soil in the form of biofilms. Micropredators that inhabit soil, including social predatory bacteria, have significant...

and garden plants. The term "plant pest", mainly applied to insect micropredators of plants, has a specific definition in terms of the International Plant...

specific name. Unlike most poeciliids (which tend to be generalists or micropredators), this is a highly specialized predator, with an extremely flexible...

mimicry occurs in the plant genus Passiflora, which is grazed by the micropredator larvae of some Heliconius butterflies. The host plants have evolved...

water. In the wild it can be seen grazing on biofilm, but it is also a micropredator that preys on small crustaceans, insect larvae and other aquatic invertebrates...
