Abstract

A number of different generalist (polyphagous) predators occur in agroecosystems. Yet their biocontrol potential has been little investigated in detail. Philodromus species (Philodromidae) belong to the dominant spider species occurring in commercial orchards. We studied in detail the trophic functional traits of Philodromus albidus, Philodromus aureolus, and Philodromus cespitum (Philodromidae).

Abstract (in Czech)

Mnozi bezobratli generaliste se vyskytuji v agroecosystemech. Potencial druhu rodu Philodromus (Philodromidae), kteri patri mezi dominantni druhy v komercnich sadech, byl studovan u tri druhu Philodromus albidus, Philodromus aureolus, a Philodromus cespitum (Philodromidae).
