	abstract = {The potential contribution of palm plantations to the conservation of forest-dwelling Cetoniinae (Coleoptera, Scarabaeidae) is assessed in southern Benin. Sample plots of 10 aerial traps per habitat type were set in two
sites containing a forest patch, a palm plantation and some agricultural land. Overall, 2,217 individuals belonging to 31 species were collected. Typical species of each habitat were identified with the IndVal method (Dufr{\^e}ne and Legendre 1997). Species were categorized into three habitat-
groups: forest specialists (11 species), farmland and open habitat specialists (9 species) and ubiquitous, generalist species found in all habitats (5 species). Only six species were too rare for assessing habitat preference. Palm plantations host a low density of Cetoniinae with no unique species. However, species composition reveals that they
are used by forest specialist species that avoid open habitats like farmlands, therefore providing structural connectivity. Cetoniine flower beetles have potential as an indicator group, which can be used in multi-taxa approaches for habitat assessments in Africa. Using species-level
metrics, their response to habitat change is clear, including the response of common species. This method is selective, cost-effective in time and materials, and species identification is rather straightforward.},

	abstract = {We examined the effects of forest disturbance and fragmentation on diversity and composition of canopy arthropod fauna in six oak species in central Mexico. Canopy fogging of 54 trees during rainy and dry seasons was conducted on three temperate forests with different levels of disturbance and habitat fragmentation. In total, we found 831 morphospecies belonging to 20 arthropod orders. Diversity of arthropods was higher in the rainy season. Acari, Hymenoptera and Diptera orders dominated during the dry season, and Acari and Collembola during the rainy season. Oak species distributed in sites with lower disturbance had significantly higher arthropod diversity than those distributed in disturbed and fragmented sites. Mean density of arthropod fauna ranged from 47.0 individuals m2 in the dry season to 375.5 m2 in the rainy season. Forest disturbance and fragmentation reduced the number of arthropod morphospecies and modified the relative abundance of arthropods at order level},

	abstract = {Faunistic analysis of Braconidae (Hymenoptera) in three areas of native woods of Paran{\'a} State, Brazil. The material studied comes from three of the several natural environments which still occur in Paran{\'a} State. The samples were collected during the project PROFAUPAR, developed by Departamento de Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Paran{\'a}. The selected sites were: Antonina (in the coastal plain), S{\~a}o Jos{\'e} dos Pinhais (in the coastal mountain range) and Tel{\^e}maco Borba (in the second plateau). During one year of the project, 2,106 specimens of Braconidae were collected with light trap. These wasps represented 21 subfamilies and 1,966 specimens were identified in 85 genera. Hormiinae, Rogadinae, Microgastrinae, Alysiinae, Doryctinae and Meteorinae were the most frequent subfamilies. Indices of diversity and evenness were used to discuss richness and dominance of genera in each locality. Statistical analyses indicated that the asymptote of actual genera richness have been approached only to Antonina and Tel{\^e}maco Borba.},

	abstract = {A study on four methods of sampling Ichneumonidae and Braconidae at two different habitats of Fraser{\textquoteright}s Hill was conducted from 12 {\textendash} 15 November 2000. The sampling methods tested were malaise trap (MT), yellow pan trap (YPT), flight intercept trap (FIT) and sweeping net (SWN). YPT collected the most ichneumonids while FIT collected similar numbers of ichneumonids and braconids. MT seemed to collect less ichneumonids individuals as compared with other two methods, but had high H{\textquoteright} for ichneumonid morphospecies, indicating that MT is relatively a better method for estimating diversity over the other methods. None of the tested sampling methods has better edge over the others in collecting ichneumonids and braconids irrespective of habitat types. As such, the use of all suitable sampling methods for certain habitats per unit time are still the best suggestion in order to get enough collection and better diversity of estimation especially for ichneumonids.},

	abstract = {The preliminary study on differential abundance and diversity of ichneumonids and braconids of star fruit and oil palms was conducted between July and November 1999. The braconids species seemed to be more abundant and diverse than the ichneumonids irrespective of the two agricultural habitats. This indicates a differential habitat preference between these two parasitic wasps. The highly disturbed agricultural habitat had significantly more diverse ichneumonid species than the moderately disturbed one. We have suggested ways to use and materialize these two parasitoid groups for controlling insect pests oil palm and fruit orchard.},
