Predation of Fruit Fly Larvae Anastrepha (Diptera: Tephritidae) by Ants in Grove

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012
Based on evidence that ants are population regulatory agents, we examined their efficiency in predation of fruit fly larvae Anastrepha Schiner, 1868 (Diptera: Tephritidae). Hence, we considered the differences among species of fruit trees, the degree of soil compaction, and the content of soil moisture as variables that would explain predation by ants ...
