Socio-ecological benefits of fine-flavor cacao in its center of origin
Publicado 2023“…Conversion to native cacao can be expected to favor adaptation to regional climate and growth conditions, and to enhance native biodiversity and ecosystem services such as biological pest control and pollination, but possibly also imply susceptibility to diseases. …”

Effects of abiotic conditions on interactions among three predators of Tetranychus urticae (Acarina:Tetranychidae)
Publicado 2021“…In agricultural communities, such effects could have important implications for the success of biological pest control. In this work we evaluated in the laboratory how abiotic conditions affect the performance of the three species of phytoseiid mites, both while interacting with each other and in the presence or absence of either pollen or T. urticae eggs. …”

Functional Diversity and Ecosystem Services of Birds in Productive Landscapes of the Colombian Amazon
Publicado 2025“…Variations in functional guilds were linked to low functional redundancy, which may also lead to differences in the provision of regulating ecosystem services such as biological pest control and seed dispersal—both of which are critical for the regeneration and connectivity of productive rural landscapes. …”

Biological control of cassava green mite with exotic and indigenous phytoseiid predators—effects of intraguild predation and supplementary food
Publicado 2005“…Intraguild predation, one aspect of predator–predator interaction, has received in recent years increasingly greater attention because of mounting evidence of the impact of predator–predator interactions on the structure of ecological communities and biological pest control. In laboratory experiments, we determined if intraguild predation occurs between Typhlodromalus manihoti and Euseius fustis, two phytoseiid mite predators of the cassava green mite Mononychellus tanajoa on cassava in Africa, and if the level of intraguild predation is affected by the availability of the primary prey, M. tanajoa, and maize pollen as alternative non-prey food. …”

The pest kill rate of thirteen natural enemies as aggregate evaluation criterion of their biological control potential of Tuta absoluta
Publicado 2021“…Ecologists study how populations are regulated, while scientists studying biological pest control apply population regulation processes to reduce numbers of harmful organisms: an organism (a natural enemy) is used to reduce the population density of another organism (a pest). …”

Influence of adult diet on fitness and reproductive traits of the egg parasitoid Anagrus virlai (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae), a potential biocontrol agent against the corn leafhopper
Publicado 2023“…Food supply, however, might influence egg maturation and survivorship of wasps, thus potentially enhancing biological pest control when hosts are scarce in the course of the first few days of adulthood.…”
