Chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) is one of the economically more important trees in the north of Portugal. Spiders, as generalist predators, are potential controlling agents of pests, yet the composition of the community of spiders associated with this crop is only poorly known. The objective of this study was to determine the spider communities in the canopies of chestnut trees subject to three different soil ...
The almond tree is an economically important crop in Mediterranean regions. However, knowledge about the biodiversity of natural enemies that may be useful as biocontrol agents, is scarce. The objectives of this work were (1) to study the diversity of predaceous arthropods and (2) establish a suitable sampling protocol for arthropods of the almond tree canopy. Between April and October of 2007-2008, 25 randomly...
