Diversity and Movement Patterns of Leaf Beetles (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and Leafhoppers (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) in a Heterogeneous Tropical Landscape

Implications for Redressing the Integrated Pest Management Paradigm

  • Chapter
Interchanges of Insects between Agricultural and Surrounding Landscapes

Abstract

The forests of Central America (Williams, 1994), as elsewhere in the tropics (Westman et al., 1989; Bennett, 1990), are being cut down at an alarming rate (Meyer & Turner II, 1994). Much of the land resulting from this activity is cleared and converted to unimproved pasture, forming a patchy landscape mosaic of forest and glade (Franklin & Forman, 1987) in a number of life zones throughout the region.
