Predation on exposed and leaf-rolling artificial caterpillars in tropical forests of Papua New Guinea (2012, background): “The pressure from natural enemies depends on forest type and the degree of disturbance, which can impact predator abundance (Barlow et al. 2006, Perfecto & Vandemeer 1996, Trollope et al. 2009, Zanette et al. 2000) or their ability to find prey (Philpott et al. 2006, Richards & Coley 2007).”
Biodiversity in tropical agroforests and the ecological role of ants and ant diversity in predatory function (2006, unknown): “…Entomology, 31, 369–377 coffee and cacao intensification ( Nestel & Dickschen, 1990; Roth et al. , 1994; Perfecto & Snelling, 1995; Perfecto et al. , 1996, 1997; Roberts et al. , 2000; Perfecto & Vandermeer, 2002; Armbrecht & Perfecto, 2003; Armbrecht et al. , 2005; Philpott et al., 2006 ).”
Diversity, abundance, and species composition of ants in urban green spaces (2010, unknown): “…species richness, area of canopy vegetation, soil moisture, soil penetrability, leaf litter depth, habitat age, patch size, and degree of habitat disturbance (Andersen 1986; McIntyre et al. 2001; Lassau and Hochuli 2004; Yamaguchi 2004; Philpott et al. 2006; Sadler et al. 2006; Smith et al. 2006).”
