Life-stage niche partitioning and functional strategies promote predatory coccinellids’ co-occurrence

Key Points

• Predatory coccinellids show increased co-occurrence due to life-stage niche partitioning and functional strategies.
• Results indicate enhanced interactions among predatory coccinellids, with significant ecological implications.
• Assessment of habitat use and feeding behaviors reveals critical insights into ecological relationships.
• Findings imply potential benefits for biodiversity, highlighting the importance of understanding predatory interactions.
