Spatial relationships between dominant ants and the cocoa mirid Sahlbergella singularis in traditional cocoa-based agroforestry systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Manipulating ant communities to control pests of cocoa has proven to be a promising strategy, especially in Asia. However, concerning African cocoa mirids, the main pests of cocoa in Africa, basic knowledge on mirid-ant relationships is still incomplete.

The Australian Crop Mirid, Sidnia kinbergi Stål (Hemiptera: Miridae): Lifecycle, Agricultural Impact and Management

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The Australian Crop Mirid (ACM), Sidnia kinbergi Stål (Hemiptera: Miridae), is highly polyphagous and is endemic to Australia. It is widely distributed across Australia and New Zealand and feeds on a wide range of agricultural crops. ACM has traditionally been a pest of forage crops and legumes but has recently emerged as a key pest of several

Preliminary Functional Group Patterns of Arthropods in a Maize Field and Adjacent Cultivated Refuge Strip in South Africa

open access: yesAustral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 2, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Agricultural intensification is a major driver of global arthropod declines. Habitat management strategies, such as cultivated refuge strips (CRS), can counteract these effects by enhancing biodiversity, promoting conservation biological control and improving agroecosystem resilience.

From Evolutionary Aspects of Zoophytophagy to Biological Control

open access: yesFrontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Zoophytophagy (true omnivory) is a ubiquitous behavior. It allows plant-feeding predators to maximize their development by finding essential nutrients, and to survive when animal resources are scarce. In agroecosystems, some zoophytophagous predators are
