Insects of the order Coleoptera play an essential role in agricultural sustainability by supporting many ecosystem services (such as biological control, nutrient cycling or pollination). In agroecosystems, the Coleoptera community may be influenced by the surrounding landscape, which can provide living resources, like food or shelter, during different seasons, originating spillover movements between different e...
The family Coccinellidae (Coleoptera) includes important predatory natural enemies in agricultural crops. To survive, this group uses different occurring resources across the landscape; therefore, the landscape can influence the Coccinellidae community in agroecosystems. In this context, this work aims to evaluate the response of the Coccinellidae community to the landscape context within a gradient of distance...
Os insetos da ordem Coleoptera desempenham um papel fundamental na manutenção e incremento da sustentabilidade dos ecossistemas agrários, ao servir de suporte a relevantes serviços ecossistémicos. Atualmente, são o maior grupo de insetos já descritos e estão presentes em quase todos os ambientes agrícolas. Na vinha, os coleópteros podem ocupar diferentes nichos ecológicos, a destacar a ação predadora de algumas...
Insects of the order Coleoptera plays an essential role in managing and enhancing the sustainability of agricultural ecosystems by supporting relevant ecosystem services. Currently, they are the largest group of insects ever described and they are present in almost all agricultural environments. In vineyards, Coleoptera may occupy different ecological niches, highlighting the predatory action of some families a...
