Fish are among the main predators, picking nymphs off the bottom or ingesting them in the water column, and feeding on emerging nymphs and adults on the water surface. Carnivorous stonefly , caddisfly , alderfly and dragonfly larvae feed on bottom-dwelling mayfly nymphs, as do aquatic beetles, leeches, crayfish and amphibians . [ 27 ]
This contradicted previous understanding that the animals can develop resistance against one pesticide at a time. [98] The scientists suggested that cockroaches will no longer be easily controlled using a diverse spectrum of chemical pesticides and that a mix of other means, such as traps and better sanitation, will need to be employed.
Lake Champlain's lamprey control program is managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, the Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. [112] New York's Finger Lakes sea lamprey control program is managed solely by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. [112]
Fish and crustaceans seem to find brachiopod flesh distasteful. [2] The fossil record shows that drilling predators like gastropods attacked molluscs and echinoids 10 to 20 times more often than they did brachiopods, suggesting that such predators attacked brachiopods by mistake or when other prey was scarce.

Sea level was then 120 m (390 ft) lower than in the 21st century. [25] [26] As sea level rose, the water and the corals encroached on what had been hills of the Australian coastal plain. By 13,000 years ago, sea level had risen to 60 m (200 ft) lower than at present, and many hills of the coastal plains had become continental islands. As sea ...
The higher-level classification of millipedes is presented below, based on Shear, 2011, [7] and Shear & Edgecombe, 2010 [14] (extinct groups). Recent cladistic and molecular studies have challenged the traditional classification schemes above, and in particular the position of the orders Siphoniulida and Polyzoniida is not yet well established ...
Fish-eating birds use beaver ponds for foraging, and in some areas, certain species appear more frequently at sites where beavers were active than at sites with no beaver activity. [ 64 ] [ 87 ] [ 88 ] In a study of Wyoming streams and rivers, watercourses with beavers had 75 times as many ducks as those without. [ 89 ]
