Evidence for detrimental effects on ecosystem services is scarce, particularly in tropical regions.2. We studied the effect of the percentage of cropped land in the landscape and altitude in tropical agro-ecosystems in relation to crop pest regulation and yield. In the Colombian Andes, we established potato Solanum tuberosum plots along gradients of altitude and increasing proportion of cropped area to assess the effects on herbivores, their natural enemies, potato production and overall biodiversity.3. Increasing altitude and percentage cropped land reduced the richness and abundance of herbivores and their natural enemies, except for the specialist Guatemalan potato moth Tecia solanivora, which showed the opposite response.4. Potato yield was negatively affected by the presence of the Guatemalan potato moth, which increased in density as the percentage of cropped land and altitude increased. Other herbivores and natural enemies did not affect yield.5. Synthesis and applications. Tropical landscapes at lower altitude or with smaller areas of cropped land suffered less from the presence of the potato moth, which had a negative effect on yield. Our results suggest that conservation of natural habitats like the endangered Andean ecosystems would benefit farmers through ecosystem services such as reduced pest damage, higher yield and increased functional biodiversity."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1111/j.1365-2664.2012.02120.x"],["dc.identifier.gro","3149868"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/6574"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.notes.status","public"],["dc.relation.issn","0021-8901"],["dc.subject","altitudinal gradient; arthropod richness; crop production; land use intensification; landscape complexity"],["dc.title","Landscape simplification and altitude affect biodiversity, herbivory and Andean potato yield"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","unknown"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

However, the combined effect of more than one stimulus has rarely been tested. Here we show that the combination of two stimuli has a synergistic effect that controls herbivore damage and increases potato yield, despite the fact that each stimulus alone has no effect. A main potato pest in Colombia is the Guatemalan potato moth (Tecia solanivora) whose larvae specialize on potato tubers. To control this pest we tested the oviposition interference (repellence) of eight aromatic plants and the oviposition stimuli (attractiveness) of eight potato varieties. In the field we tested the effectiveness of the single and combined use of repellent and attractive stimuli on herbivore damage and tuber production of potato plants and compared the efficacy of these treatments to conventional management systems that employed insecticides. Although there was no effect of the attractive and repellent stimuli in the field when used alone, the combined use reduced the number of damaged tubers and increased the weight of undamaged tubers relative to the untreated plots, thus demonstrating a synergistic effect. Productivity in the conventionally treated plots was similar to plots treated with the combined stimuli. We demonstrate that the simultaneous use of garlic-pepper extracts and intercropping with S. tuberosum cv Roja Narino are an effective strategy for the management of T solanivora. This strategy maintains the productivity attained with conventional management practices, but without the health, environmental and ecological costs associated with the use of insecticides.

Given the speed at which these changes are occurring, one of society's major challenges is to coexist within ecosystems and to manage ecosystem services in a sustainable way. The effect of possible scenarios of global change on ecosystem services can be explored using ecosystem models. Such models should adequately represent ecosystem processes above and below the soil surface (aboveground and belowground) and the interactions between them. We explore possibilities to include such interactions into ecosystem models at scales that range from global to local. At the regional to global scale we suggest to expand the plant functional type concept (aggregating plants into groups according to their physiological attributes) to include functional types of aboveground-belowground interactions. At the scale of discrete plant communities, process-based and organism-oriented models could be combined into \"hybrid approaches\" that include organism-oriented mechanistic representation of a limited number of trophic interactions in an otherwise process - oriented approach. Under global change the density and activity of organisms determining the processes may change non-linearly and therefore explicit knowledge of the organisms and their responses should ideally be included. At the individual plant scale a common organism-based conceptual model of aboveground-belowground interactions has emerged. This conceptual model facilitates the formulation of research questions to guide experiments aiming to identify patterns that are common within, but differ between, ecosystem types and biomes. Such experiments inform modelling approaches at larger scales. Future ecosystem models should better include this evolving knowledge of common patterns of aboveground-belowground interactions. Improved ecosystem models are necessary toots to reduce the uncertainty in the information that assists us in the sustainable management of our environment in a changing world.

Herbivore attack can induce dramatic changes in plant chemical defences. These responses protect plants against future herbivory, but can also have important physiological and ecological costs. Ecological costs of defence have received recent theoretical attention; however, many proposed costs have not yet been demonstrated empirically. In particular, field data are lacking as to whether induced responses in leaves can lead to correlated changes in fruit palatability that reduce fruit removal by mutualist seed dispersers. 2. Using the tropical shrub, Hamelia patens (Rubiaceae), we examined changes in fruit removal, palatability and maturation time following various treatments to the subtending leaves, including herbivory, mechanical damage and/or application of methyl jasmonate (MeJA). 3. Fewer fruits were removed from herbivory- and MeJA-treated branches than from controls, and results from three bioassays with ants and fungi suggested that this response was mediated by changes in fruit palatability. In addition, fruits from MeJA-treated branches matured more quickly than those from control branches. 4. Synthesis. Taken together, our results provide novel evidence that induced responses to herbivory can affect fruit-frugivore interactions through two mechanisms: changes in fruit palatability and changes in fruit development time. This highlights the importance of physiological linkages between leaf and fruit traits in determining the overall costs of plant defence and the fitness outcomes of multispecies interactions."],["dc.description.sponsorship","Emily P.

However, the continuing expansion of agricultural areas threatens natural habitats as well as human and ecosystem health. One option for increasing food production is to maximize yields from existing farmland. Here we demonstrate that larval feeding by the Guatemalan potato moth (Tecia solanivora), considered one of the most economically important potato pests in Latin America, leads to a dramatic increase in potato tuber production. Field-grown potato plants (Solanum tuberosum) in the Colombian Andes attacked by low numbers of potato moth larvae produce a 2.5-fold higher marketable potato yield than undamaged plants. Greenhouse experiments demonstrate that this effect is induced by larval regurgitant, rather than by mechanical tissue damage. Our results indicate that compounds from the foregut of T. solanivora are necessary and sufficient to induce an increased yield in potato.
