Can carabid beetles be potential predators of the olive fruit fly

We found two main carabid assemblages: the assemblage of olive orchards and the one of woody SNHs, each one defined by a set of features and species-traits. It is the assemblage of olive orchar ...

The Dynamics of Nature: Succession

Left alone, this area can recover through succession, eventually returning to a complex forest ecosystem. However, humans often replace complex ecosystems with simple ones des ...
