Abstract:Direct and indirect ecological interactions, environmental factors, and the phenology of host plants can shape the way mites interact. These relationships interfere with species occurrence and consequently alter the structure and stability of the intraplant community. We evaluated the associations between mite species and mango trees using a complex network approach. Additionally, we observed a correlation between mite population density and plant phenological stage. Environmental variables, such as average mo… Show more
