Soils and crops in orchard agrosystems are particularly vulnerable to climate change and
environmental stresses. In many orchard soils, soil biodiversity and the ecosystem services it …

Environmental impacts of conventional agriculture have generated interest in sustainable
agriculture. Biological pest control is a fundamental tool, and ants are key players providing …

The invasion of exotic ant species in China presents significant challenges to ecosystems,
agriculture, and the economy. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of China's ongoing …

BACKGROUND Ants can become efficient biocontrol agents in plantation crops as they prey
on pest insects and may inhibit plant pathogens by excreting broad‐spectrum antibiotics …

The use of predatory arthropods in biological pest control in agriculture can generate
resistance by farmers when these beneficials become noxious for them or their crops. The …

Ants are one of the most abundant insect groups in citrus orchards. They help in controlling
pests, but they can also facilitate the outbreak of other pests, such as those that produce …

(Hymenoptera: Formicidae) and the functional groups in two different habitats. Biodiversitas …

Edaphic fauna is a major determinant of agricultural soil quality, but few studies have
investigated soil fauna in different agroforestry systems. The objective of this study was to …

The management of agroecosystems affects biodiversity at all levels from genetic to food-
web complexity. Low-input farming systems support higher levels of genetic, species and …

Multiple predator species can provide effective biological control of pest insects if predators
have complementary effects. This could be the case of predatory ants in species-rich …
