Contrasting predation services of predator and omnivore diversity mediated by invasive ants in a tropical agroecosystem [PDF]
, 2017 Invasive natural enemies are known to either strengthen or weaken the suppression of herbivorous arthropods. However, the impact of invasive species on the predation service provided by natural enemy diversity remains largely unexplored.
