Mean mortality and fecundity of rove beetles A. bilineata fed a diet of olive flies.

(†) Comparisons were made between Treatment and Control 1 or Control 3 and Control 1 (two tailed Student’s t-test). P ≤ 0.05 are considered statistically significant. (*)Mean number of offspring per beetle. (**) Fecundity effects: The relative reproductive performance will be expressed as percent reduction compared to the Control 1 group. (***) Comparisons were made between Treatment and Control 1 or Control 3 and Control 1 (two tailed Student’s t-test). P ≤ 0.05 are considered statistically significant. a.s. = active substance; NA = not applicable; SD = standard deviation.
