In Mali, 1205 mangos (Mangifera indicaL.) were sampled between April and September 2000 andplaced under observation. We recovered 7518 adults of six species of Ceratitis, namely C. cosyra (Walker), C. silvestriiBezzi, C. quinaria (Bezzi), C. fasciventris (Bezzi), C. anonae Graham and C. ditissima...

Oecophylla
ants are appreciated for their control of pests in plantation crops. However,
the ants ? nest building may have negative impacts on trees. In this study we tested
the effect of ant densities and nest building on the leaf performance of mango trees.
Trees were divided into three gro...
Weaver ants (Oecophylla spp.) are widely used as effective biological control agents. In order to optimize their use, ant abundance needs to be tracked. As several methods have been used to estimate ant abundance on plantation trees, abundances are not comparable between studies and no guideline ...
