Abstract

Two laboratory experiments were conducted to determine what effect access to the water column might have on the predation of Daphnia schodleri by damselflies. In both trails, the presence of a perching substrate significantly increased predation by increasing the predator-prey encounter rate. Larger damselflies were observed to have higher predation rates than smaller size forms.
