Temperature-specific competition in predatory mites: Implications for biological pest control in a changing climate
Climate change is affecting the future of sustainable agriculture, because increasing temperatures may interfere with the functioning of natural enemies that are used in biological pest control. In this work, we examined the role of abiotic conditions in shaping the structure of a simple agricultura...
