| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses an experiment designed to aid in explaining the uneven distribution of Ataenius spretulus on golf courses by studying "the potential preference of A. spretulus adults for moisture turf and the A. spretulus egg and larval predation by natural enemies." "The possible cause [of skewed distribution] was the adult's choice for moisturized turf. Additionally, the predation experiment gave us a better understanding about the relationship between A. spretulus and predators. The corn rootworm eggs, which have the similar size of A. spretulus eggs, were consumed by major ground beetles and rover beetles found in turf." |
