Abstract
⺠We elucidated the life table and predation rate of Cybocephalus flavocapitis Smith fed on Aulacaspis yasumatsui in Taiwan. ⺠We applied the age-stage, two-sex life table theory to calculate the population parameters. ⺠Cybocephalus flavocapitis is similar morphologically and has closely related biological attributes to Cybocephalus nipponicus. ⺠The r value of the predator C. flavocapitis is 0.05 dâ 1, C. nipponicus (0.06 dâ 1) and A. yasumatsui (0.1 dâ 1). ⺠This study makes it possible to model the predator-prey interaction of C. flavocapitis on A. yasumatsui.
