Concepts

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

The progression through larval developmental stages with associated changes in size and feeding capacity

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

Production of extracellular polymeric stalk material by diatoms when photosynthetic rates exceed cellular growth rates

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