Abstract
⺠We tested interactions on Nesidiocoris tenuis and Macrolophus pygmaeus. ⺠Conspecific and heterospecific interactions reduced predator progeny. ⺠IGP between predators is related to predator density and prey availability. ⺠Coexistence of omnivorous predators can increase predator plant feeding. ⺠IGP between predators may explain failure in biological control programs.
