Abstract
To assess the controlling potential of Crematogaster rogenhoferi against Parasaissetia nigra Nietner 1st instar larva, we determined the functional response and searching efficiency of C.rogenhoferi preying1st instar larva of P.nigra and analyzed its predatory behaviors. The results showed that predation functional response of C.rogenhoferi conformed to Holling’s type II model, and the feeding quantity rose with the increase of density. However, as the 1st instar larva of P.nigra increased, the searching efficiency of C.rogenhoferi decreased. A mutual interference effect existed among different individuals, and the searching efficiency of C.rogenhoferi accosted with a Hassell-Varley model. In the predation, although the feeding and espionage proportion of C.rogenhoferi were not high, the proportions of casting and searching behavior were large. Observations of comprehensive feeding behaviors of C.rogenhoferi showed C.rogenhoferi had certain control function and control potential on the 1st instar larva of P.nigra.
