“…The dominance of Lepidoptera in bird's overall diets highlights this pest taxa's abundance, landscape spread, and availability to insectivorous bird consumers. This pattern has been reported from many past studies in many types of croplands (Janzen, 1988;Sosa-Aranda et al, 2018). As seen previously, this pest taxon derived its diet carbon from all of the three plant food sources across both the forest and farmland habitats.…”

“…As a consequence of these factors, only species adapting to such perturbations can persist in forest-farm ecotones and have to disperse across habitat to obtain resources necessary for their survival (Bos et al, 2007;Gonzalez et al;Alvarez-Alvarez et al, 2022). For instance, bees and wasps normally establish colonies in forests but often forage for nectar on neighboring farmlands (Hill and Webster, 1995) and many butterfly species oviposit and breed on croplands but roost and hibernate in woodlands (Sosa-Aranda et al, 2018). Similarly, several avian insectivores like flycatchers and granivores like grosbeaks nest in wooded areas but forage on croplands (Douglas et al, 2014), whereas warblers, sparrows, stocks, cranes and many raptors, which feed predominantly within the farmland space, frequently utilize adjacent forests for roosting and nesting (Berg and Part, 1994).…”

Although conversion of natural forest to agriculture can negatively impact biodiversity in many ways, some affected species may respond by dispersing across the forest–farmland eco-zone, thereby facilitating functional connections through food-web interactions beneficial to crop production and forestry. This study examined patterns of Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), Hemiptera (bugs), and Coleoptera (beetles) herbivory, and insectivorous bird predation within forest-adjacent farms in western Kenya, and how these processes trophically connect the two ecosystems to promote pest biocontrol. Through δ13C and δ15N stable isotope analyses, proportions of maize, farmland legumes and forest trees in pest diets, and pest-prey in bird’s diets were estimated. Birds’ habitat associations and diet specializations’ influence on pest consumption and basal plant carbon levels in birds’ tissues were determined to evaluate birds’ pest-biocontrol potential. Maize was the mostly consumed plant especially by Lepidoptera, but forest trees were peimarily consumed by Coleoptera and Hemiptera. In turn, Lepidoptera were mainly consumed by forest-associated birds, whereas Hemiptera and Coleoptera were mostly consumed by farmland-associated birds. Thus, birds showed cross-habitat pest consumption tendencies, though diet-specialization was unimportant in predicting those tendencies. Muscicapidae (flycatchers and allies); Hirundinidae (swifts and swallows); Motacillidae (pipits and wagtails); and Ploceidae (weavers) birds showed the highest contributory potential for pest biocontrol of Lepidoptera pests, but Estrildidae (manikins and waxbills), Muscicapidae, and Malaconotidae (boubous and gonoleks) birds showed the best potential against Hemiptera and Coleoptera. Furthermore, more maize basal carbon was assimilated by forest-associated compared to farmland-associated birds, whereas most basal carbon from farmland legumes and forest trees were assimilated by farmland birds, suggesting that unlike pest-prey choice, basal plant carbon pathways to avian insectivorous consumers did not strongly mirror birds’ habitat associations. Lepidoptera and Hemiptera were potentially the most significant interhabitat trophic connector arthropods, and for birds, Muscicapidae, Ploceidae, and Estrildidae. These findings show that such functional connectivity may be enhanced through increasing structural cover elements that promote insectivorous birds’ dispersal between farmland and adjacent forests to boost their pest-regulation ecosystem service contribution. The results serve to inform effective management practices by agronomists, foresters, and land-use planners toward promoting landscape-scale-integrated pest management for sustainable agriculture and biodiversity conservation.

“…Objek wisata yang menjadi andalan yaitu Curug Tujuh Bidadari, pengelolaan wisata dilakukan oleh masyarakat setempat dengan menawarkan pemandangan alam yang eksotis dan harga tiket yang terjangkau, sehingga membuat wisata tersebut tidak pernah sepi penggunjung. Pesona alam yang disuguhkan kepada para penggunjung adalah adanya perkebunan kopi yang sangat luas dan berada di sepanjang perjalanan menuju lokasi wisata, hal tersebut dijadikan sebagai daya tarik guna menarik perhatian pengunjung (Sosa-Aranda et al, 2018;Santamaría et al, 2020;Huang et al, 2020). Perkebunan kopi yang berada di Desa Keseneng merupakan perkebunan milik rakyat, kondisi wilayah yang dimiliki sangat mendukung untuk pengembangan budidaya tanaman kopi.…”

Faktor-faktor untuk meningkatkan kompetensi petani dalam pengembangan usaha perlu dikaji lebih dalam, mengingat Desa Keseneng berstatus sebagai Desa Wisata. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk: 1) menganalisis kompetensi petani kopi di Desa Keseneng, 2) menganalisis hubungan faktor-faktor internal dan eksternal dengan kompetensi petani kopi di Desa Keseneng. Penelitian di laksanakan pada bulan Agustus 2019 di Desa Keseneng Kecamatan Sumowono, Kabupaten Semarang. Penelitian menggunakan metode survei, metode pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan wawancara secara langsung kepada petani kopi sebagai responden. Penentuan responden dengan menggunakan metode purposive sampling sebanyak 32 responden. Metode analisis data menggunakan analisis korelasi Rank Spearman. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa petani kopi di Desa Keseneng memiliki kompetensi dalam pengembangan usaha kopi pada kategori sedang. Hasil analisis menunjukkan peubah pendidikan formal dan pengalaman petani tidak berhubungan nyata dengan kompetensi petani dalam mengembangkan usaha kopi. Peubah penerimaan kopi (0,751) dan keikutsertaan dalam kegiatan penyuluhan (0,794) berhubungan nyata dan positif dengan kompetensi petani pada tingkat keeratan hubungan sangat kuat. Peubah interaksi social masyarakat perkebunan (0,713) berhubungan sangat nyata dengan kompetensi petani pada tingkat keeratan hubungan kuat.
