Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Predators of T. aurantii were effective in reducing aphid populations in cacao farms.
- Association Predator effectiveness did not differ between levels of shade tree diversity in cacao plantations.
- Observation Larvae of Ocyptamus antiphates showed a Type II functional response to the density of T. aurantii in the laboratory.
- Mechanism Spatially independent distribution is one mechanism of coexistence among aphid predators in cacao.
- Observation Ants attacked the syrphid O. antiphates but never attacked Coccinellidae in cacao.
