“…Agroforestry represents one of the most important tools to meet this challenge while fulfilling the European and Global Biodiversity Targets (Rankoth et al, 2019;Mosquera-Losada et al 2020). Akesse-Ransford et al (2021) demonstrated that insects can be used as bioindicators of ecosystem health and changes in the environment. Their number and presence is affected by management and, subsequently, informs about agro-ecosystem management priorities and actions.…”

“…Insect pests remain a major constrain to cocoa production in Ghana causing huge economic losses. Akesse-Ransford et al (2021) evaluated the influence of organic and conventional management systems on abundance of insects, including both pest and beneficial species. In the conventional farms, a higher number of insect pests to cocoa were recorded, while the organic farming systems support many predatory insect species that could act as natural enemies, emphasizing the importance of the management system to sustaining high biodiversity for a sound ecosystem.…”

“…Among these, WCHS shared the highest proportion of species with Lamto (36.1%) and Oumé (30.6%), both in Côte d'Ivoire, and shared 25% of the species assemblage found in the Ashanti region (Tables 4, 5). The ant biodiversity study in the Ashanti Region, mostly wet evergreen tropical forest, (Belshaw & Bolton, 1994) marks the first and only major ant biodiversity study in Ghana that was not focused on agroforest, particularly cocoa plantation, assemblages (Akesse‐Ransford et al., 2021; Room, 1971; Stephens et al., 2016).…”

“…But they noted a low population from April to June in both regions. Several authors have considered trophic factors such as the physiology of cocoa trees to be the main cause and climatic factors (including rainfall and temperature) as indirect causes of fluctuating capsid populations (Adja et al, 2005;Babin, 2009;Adu-Acheampong et al, 2014;Kouamé et al, 2014Kouamé et al, , 2015Akesse-Ransford, 2016). They have indicated that variations of capsid populations are strongly influenced by the availability and quality of food resources through the circulation of sap in pods and regrowth on which these insects feed.…”
