Ecological complexity in a coffee agroecosystem: spatial heterogeneity, population persistence and biological control.
Spatial heterogeneity is essential for the persistence of many inherently unstable systems such as predator-prey and parasitoid-host interactions. Since biological interactions themselves can create heterogeneity in space, the heterogeneity necessary for the persistence of an unstable system could b...
