The aims of this research performed in vineyards within the Douro Demarcated Region were
to determine the species composition of vineyard epigaeic arthropods assemblages and to …

Weeds and non-cultivated plants have a great impact on abundance and diversity of
beneficial arthropods in agriculture. The main aim of this work was to study the influence of …

We investigated the impact of neighborhood non-crop habitats (NCHs) and cover vegetation
in the Douro Demarcated Region terraced vineyards on ground-dwelling arthropods …

Vineyards in many parts of the world can be regarded as monocultures with little remaining
native vegetation, often with a suite of introduced weeds, and having ecosystem services at …

Simple Summary Habitat simplification and use of pesticides in vineyard agro-ecosystems
simplified arthropod communities, reducing natural pest control. In this context, habitat …

Abstract The Cape Floristic Region (CFR), South Africa, is a biodiversity hotspot challenged
by intensive wine production. Innovative approaches are being explored to optimize wine …

Conservation of natural habitats within agroecosystems often enhances the abundance and
species diversity of arthropod natural enemies, but does not necessarily improve the …

The arthropod predator community of an organically cultivated 0.3 ha field was sampled by
pitfall trapping during 1 year and analysed for small-scale spatial distribution patterns and …

Major knowledge gaps exist regarding effects of landscape-level agroecosystem
composition on the presence of natural enemies of agricultural pests. The objective of this …

Sažetak Farming practices as well as land-use management have a great impact on
biodiversity and composition of ground-dwelling arthropods. In this study, abundance and …
