Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Göttingen, Univ., Diss., 2013 Agricultural productivity and human well-being are built upon ecosystem services and disservices. Ants in tropical agroecosystems drive a complex network of direct and indirect interactions between crops and their mutualists and antagonists. Until now most studies of ecosystem services of ants only focus on single interactions. But little is known about the dynamics between multiple interactions, their relative importance, how they are affected by ant community properties and how they add up to final yield quantity and quality. We tested the hypothesis that ecosystem services of ant communi... |
