Arthropod predator nutrient content changes with crop sowing period with implications for biocontrol

This study examines how crop sowing timing affects arthropod predator nutrition and prey availability, finding that predator nutrient content differs between winter- and spring-sown wheat, with prey quality, not identity, driving these changes.
