Summary Cocoa is an important agricultural product that plays a crucial role in local communities South America. In Brazil, it traditionally grown agroforestry systems, which are more sustainable and contribute to biodiversity conservation. However, the recent expansion of intensive monocultures tropical forests poses significant threats this activity. Using historical data on land use cocoa productivity at municipality level from Brazil’s primary cocoa-producing states, we show maintaining...
With the growing demand for food production worldwide, natural landscapes are increasingly being replaced by agricultural areas, which directly affects biodiversity and local ecosystem services. Agroforestry systems, intentional integration of trees shrubs into crop animal farming a more sustainable approach that has been increasing in several forested areas around globe. Here, we examine trends agroforestry Brazilian Legal Amazon estimate associated value services mediated pollinators....
Conservation biological control of pests may be achieved using a variety integrated strategies based on crop diversification. We investigated whether the insertion intercropped plants species (IPS) Inga edulis, Senna macranthera, and Varronia curassavica modified abundance mites, their feeding behavior, dissimilarity predator herbivore mites over gradient distance from IPS coffee. To accomplish this, we recorded mite coffee along transects 16 m extending IPS, including IPS. A total 8946...
Our understanding of eumenine nesting biology is still elusive. The use two strategies, namely renting and building, are reported concomitantly for the first time Minixi brasilianum (de Saussure, 1875). Ecological factors such as resource availability protection against potential enemies may play an important role in biology.
Global initiatives to recover degraded areas have intensified in recent years. However, the effectiveness of different reforestation practices restoring habitat stability and essential resources for species over time is poorly known. We tested degree temporal bee wasp communities reestablishiment types forest regeneration compared intact primary southern Amazonia. Using trap‐nest sampling, we collected, during 12 months, information about nesting six treatments: pastures, teak reforestation,...
Abstract Understanding the processes that shape biotic interactions within biological communities helps us to develop strategies for establishment of ecological and rehabilitate functionality degraded environments. We evaluated functional diversity cavity‐nesting bees wasps their interaction networks established with nest parasites in different types reforestation Southern Amazonia. To do so, we used bee wasp trap‐nests sample six environments: pasture, teak reforestation, fig mixed natural...
A urbanização tem causado a fragmentação de vários ambientes naturais, levando à perda muitos processos ecológicos como polinização, realizada principalmente por abelhas, em especial as espécies Meliponini, que reduzido drasticamente suas populações devido habitat pela expansão urbana. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar um levantamento das abelhas sem ferrão áreas urbanas do município Ubá - MG, Brasil, relacionar riqueza e abundância encontradas com taxa ocupação variáveis estruturais da...
