Total prey consumption overall and per treatment per predator.
Total consumption of each prey species by A. helena (n = 97) over all treatments (a) and total consumption of prey snails at each treatment over the 14-day experimental period (b). All prey types were regularly consumed, however different numbers were consumed (dark grey: consumption; light grey: abundance). In (b) prey species are respectively, Ramshorn snails, Malaysian Trumpet snails, Pond snails, and Quilted melania snails. Box-plots with interquartile ranges and median, whiskers are up to the most extreme value within 1.5 times the interquartile range from the interquartile range. Individual points represent individual predators, outliers are indicated by triangles.
