Effect of feeding on short term and long term functional responses in
Notonecta hoffmani.
Diets were elaborated with fly pupae (
Notonecta unifasciata), alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum).
ornaticollis feeding on invertebrates (e.g., nymphs of
Notonecta) on or near the water surface of small fishponds.
The effect of alternative prey on the functional response of
Notonecta hoffmani.
Predator-induced phenotypic plasticity in Daphnia pulex: life history and morphological responses to
Notonecta and Chaoborus.
Similar contrasts can be made for the limnetic zones of these lakes where differences in zooplankton assemblages are primarily caused by differential vulnerabilities to fish and other large invertebrate predators (e.g., Chaoborus and
Notonecta species) (yon Ende 1979, Vanni 1988, Arnott and Vanni 1993).
Anisopinae: Anisops cameroonensis Signoret, Anisops sardea Herrich-Schaffer, Buenoa uhleri Truxal; Notonectinae:
Notonecta glauca Linnaeus, (Fabricius), Enithares bergrothi Montandon, Nychia sappho Kirkaldy.
In August, 3 community types were present: 1) Amphipoda, 2)
Notonecta, and 3) Chaoborus-Sigara.
Several erroneous records were due to nomenclatural problems involving Central American Nepomorpha
Notonecta indica Linnaeus, 1771 was mistakenly cited in literature as N.
1992; Ravenscroft 1994; Moilanen & Hanski 1998; Bergman 1999) and backswimmers of the genus
Notonecta (Briers & Warren 2000).
Parsons (1972) demonstrated the presence of nodes and bifurcating longitudinal ridges in the cibarial food pump of
Notonecta (Heteroptera) which act as triturating devices grinding and filtering particulate matter in the food.
