Concepts

Predation behavior where individuals consume members of their own species, particularly common in A. m. nebulosum populations targeting first year hatchlings

Caddisfly larvae ability to construct protective cases from environmental debris using silk-like string

Addition of new individuals to insect populations through successful reproduction and development

Mechanism where state and behavior mutually reinforce each other, measured as positive correlation between individual intercept and slope in random regression models.

The increase in mortality with age, showing broad variation at the intraspecific level
