Coccinellid response to landscape composition and configuration
1 Arthropod natural enemies provide valuable pest suppression in agricultural landscapes. Natural enemy abundance and diversity within a given crop, in turn, have frequently been shown to be positively related to the amount of semi-natural habitat in the landscape. However, other aspects of landscape structure may also influence natural enemy communities and may be more amenable to management. ...
متن کاملLandscape composition and configuration in the central highlands of Ethiopia
Landscape dynamics are common phenomenon in the human-dominated environments whereby it can be observed that the composition and configuration between landscape elements change over time. This dynamism brings about habitat loss and fragmentation that can greatly alter ecosystem services at patch, class, and landscape levels. We conducted a study to examine composition and configuration of fores...
متن کاملAmphibian Distributions in a Landscape of Forests and Agriculture: an Examination of Landscape Composition and Configuration
Landscapes can be described by two essential features: the composition and spatial arrangement of patches. We considered the roles of these basic landscape descriptors by examining how the occurrence of nine amphibian species in breeding ponds was associated with the area of forested habitat and the proximity of ponds to forested habitat. We used visual and call surveys to compare the compositi...
متن کاملGut microbiota composition is associated with environmental landscape in honey bees
There is growing recognition that the gut microbial community regulates a wide variety of important functions in its animal hosts, including host health. However, the complex interactions between gut microbes and environment are still unclear. Honey bees are ecologically and economically important pollinators that host a core gut microbial community that is thought to be constant across populat...
متن کاملVegetation structure and composition in the semi-arid Mapungubwe Cultural Landscape
Mapungubwe Cultural Landscape (MCL) woody vegetation was characterized to establish structural and compositional attributes. Stratified random sampling based on major soil types was used and nine plant variables were measured in 137(20x30) m2 sampling plots; these being genera, species and family names; basal circumference; plant height; depth and diameter of tree canopy; number of s...
