Data of functional response.xlsx

The influence of different short-term heat stress on the functional response and prey consumption of female of N. barkeri on three stages (Egg, Protonymph, and Adult) of T. urticae was evaluated. Three temperatures (38°C, 40°C and 42°C), three short-term heat duration (2h, 4h and 6h), eight prey densities (3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 and 24 individuals), (85 ± 5)% RH and a 16h:8h (L:D) photoperiod were used during a 24-h period in functional response experiments.
