Alien species numerically dominate natural enemy communities in urban habitats: A preliminary study
(Gazi Entomological Research Soc, 2017-06)
Urbanization generally leads to reduced biodiversity of insects, mainly native species. Knowing the structure of natural enemy communities is important because of the significant role they play as biological control agents ...
Structural complexity of arthropod guilds is affected by the agricultural landscape heterogeneity generated by fencerows
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2016-03)
Intensive farming imposes harsh conditions impeding the persistence of most arthropod species within crop fields. Hence, arthropods surviving the unfavourable conditions prevailing within crop fields may disperse towards ...
The effect of landscape context on the biological control of Sitobion avenae: temporal partitioning response of natural 6 enemy guilds.
Landscape contexts with high complexity may promote diversity of natural enemies, although the effect on biocontrol remains under discussion. Although biocontrol of Sitobion avenae is a well-studied system, little is known ...
Gall traits and galling insect survival in a multi-enemy context
(Universidad de Costa Rica, 2021)
Robustness of a meta-network to alternative habitat loss scenarios
(Wiley Blackwell Publishing, Inc, 2020-10)
Studying how habitat loss affects the tolerance of ecological networks to species extinction (i.e. their robustness) is key for our understanding of the influence of human activities on natural ecosystems. With networks ...
