The African root and tuber scale (ARTS) Stictococcus vayssierei Richard is a subterranean insect originally infesting several native plant species in the forest zones of Central Africa. With help of the native ant Anoplolepis tenella Santchi, ARTS has recently emerged as a major constraint to cas...

We applied time series analysis and a mechanistic predator-prey model to long-term data of monthly population counts of the herbivorous pest mite Mononychellus tanajoa and its introduced phytoseiid predator Typhlodromalus aripo from a cassava field in Benin, West Africa. In this approach, we dete...
