Abstract
Three prey categories (Trichoptera, Oligochaeta, large Cladocera), constituting <1/3 of the typical odonate diet, were consistently depleted in enclosures with odonate larvae; but the extent of their depletion was not increased at high (ambient) compared with low (half-ambient) odonate densities. Results support conclusions that exploitation competition was not an important phenomenon for odonate larvae.-from Authors
