| Abstract | The influence of ground cover plants on the ecosystem service of weed seed predation by crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllidae) was evaluated on paddy field levees in Japan in 2010 and 2011. We compared the activity density of crickets and invertebrate seed predation on Lolium multiflorum, a non-native grass weed, among five vegetation types grown on paddy levees: the ground covers Eremochloa ophiuroides, Phyla canescens, Phlox subulata, and Zoysia japonica, and weedy vegetation dominated by Digitaria ciliaris. Camera recordings showed that crickets were the predominant invertebrate seed predators. Cricket density tended to be higher on levees with E. ophiuroides, Phyla canescens, and Phlox subulata [5.8–7.2 individuals/trap/day (individuals/trap/d) (2010); 5.4–7.6 individuals/trap/d (2011)] than in those with Z. japonica and weedy vegetation [1.0–2.2 individuals/trap/d (2010); 2.2–3.2 individuals/trap/d (2011)]. Invertebrate seed predation on levees with Phyla canescens and Phlox subulata tended to be relatively high in both years. These results suggest that E. ophiuroides, Phyla canescens, and Phlox subulata can increase cricket density, and that Phyla canescens and Phlox subulata, in particular, can stably enhance weed seed predation on paddy field levees. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
