Schematic diagram of the chronological course of the experiment and the temporal metrics use in the tests.
Latency to first movement was measured from the release of the test carabid to its first movement greater than its average body length; the latency to first acceptance of a seed was measured as the time from the first movement of an individual until it accepted the first seed; handling time is the duration of the seed consumption starting from an individual seizing the seed in its mandibles until it released the empty tegument. The experiment ended after a duration of 3600 s.
