Abstract
Oil palm plantations are typically managed as wide monocultures and cover large areas, which can lead to a reduction in biodiversity and the provision of biological control services. However, it is less clear what the factors are and how the management of these plantations affects the biological control services, in particular, the host–parasitoid food webs. Understanding host–parasitoid food webs and the factors influencing species interactions is important for the development of pest management strategies in oil palm plantations. Food webs are critically linked to the stability and function of ecological communities by describing their underlying structure. The variation in the interactions can be different not only between the oil palm plantations within the same landscape but also between different geographical areas. Several factors have an influence on these interactions and should be taken into account in the management of oil palm plantations. This review highlights the host–parasitoid food webs in oil palm plantations in Asia, particularly in Indonesia, and explores the key factors influencing these interactions, providing insights that are critical for developing effective pest management strategies.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Insect Science is a new systematic review journal that aims to provide specialists with a unique and educational platform to keep up–to–date with the expanding volume of information published in the field of Insect Science. As this is such a broad discipline, we have determined themed sections each of which is reviewed once a year.
The following 11 areas are covered by Current Opinion in Insect Science.
-Ecology
-Insect genomics
-Global Change Biology
-Molecular Physiology (Including Immunity)
-Pests and Resistance
-Parasites, Parasitoids and Biological Control
-Behavioural Ecology
-Development and Regulation
-Social Insects
-Neuroscience
-Vectors and Medical and Veterinary Entomology
There is also a section that changes every year to reflect hot topics in the field.
Section Editors, who are major authorities in their area, are appointed by the Editors of the journal. They divide their section into a number of topics, ensuring that the field is comprehensively covered and that all issues of current importance are emphasized. Section Editors commission articles from leading scientists on each topic that they have selected and the commissioned authors write short review articles in which they present recent developments in their subject, emphasizing the aspects that, in their opinion, are most important. In addition, they provide short annotations to the papers that they consider to be most interesting from all those published in their topic over the previous year.
