Recent research highlights the predator Anthocoris nemoralis as an effective biocontrol agent against an important olive pest, Prays oleae. This work tries to corroborate that an increase of natural habitats proportion surrounding the crop, together with a high abundance of the secondary pest Euphyllura olivina, could increase the population of A. nemoralis, and as a consequence, if a higher abundance of this predator would improve the biological control of P. oleae. For this purpose, the community of arthropods present in nine farms with different landscape composition was sampled during four key phenological stages of olive tree. Statistical models were used to evaluate the relationship between pairs of species and the proportion of natur...
