Co-occurrence and abundance of pollinators and pests in horticultural systems in Africa using an integrated Earth observation-based approach por Aduvukha, G.R., Abdel-Rahman, E.M., Mudereri, B.T., Sichangi, A.W., Makokha, G.O., Lattorff, H.M.G., Mohamed, S.A., Landmann, T., Tonnang, H.E.Z., Dubois, T.

Thus, this study focused on investigating the influence of cropping patterns on the spatial distribution of pollinators (Apis mellifera, Hymenoptera other than A. mellifera, and Syrphidae), flower visitors (Calliphoridae), and pests, i.e. fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) and false codling moth (Thaumatotibia leucotreta) of the avocado, a pollinator-dependent crop. …”
