Fireflies are charismatic and conspicuous animals that often evoke childhood memories, which make firefly watching an emotional and even transformative experience. Citizen science projects have the potential to enhance transformative interactions with nature. Like many insects, firefly populations are declining due to land-use change, urbanization...
Las islas mexicanas representan un reservorio de biodiversidad importante que se encuentra amenazado por el cambio global. En épocas recientes, la isla Socorro, archipiélago Revillagigedo ha experimentado importantes pertubaciones tales como brotes poblacionales de la langosta centroamericana (Schistocerca piceifrons).

This chapter examines the importance of landscape and farming practices in agroecosystems and herbivore regulation in the tropics. It revises their relevance as centers of origin and diversification of agriculture and the threats they experience due to land use change. Here we analyze the patterns that have been observed in terms of management prac...

Whereas herbivores can cause substantial crop losses, natural enemies can offer pest regulation services that otherwise would be difficult to obtain. Two major factors affecting arthropod communities within plantations are farming practices and surrounding landscape....
