(a) The logistic regression equations representing the variations in the shared prey consumed (preycon) by the IG predators against the prey density (preyden), predator density (predden) and predator combination (predcomb) and habitat complexity (habitat) as explanatory variables.

Predator combinations were (i) only IG prey and shared prey ii) both IG predator and IG prey with shared prey iii) only IG predator and shared prey. The level of significance assumed to be 0.025. The prey and predator combinations are shown in the suffix. (b) Significant values of the parameters of the model (in bold) were deduced through the Wald’s Chi-square test represented below. Here, the prey predator combinations were, mosq–Mosquito larvae, rus–D. rusticus, Chiro–chironomid larvae, ran- R. filiformis, lacco–L. griseus.
