Spiders: weaving a crucial link in the balance of agroecosystems
Keywords:
predators, agroecosystems, pest species, biological controlAbstract
Movies, literature, and traditional myths created misconceptions of spiders as sinister animals living in dark and gloomy places. However, our coexistence with these organisms and their importance in the ecosystems were traditionally neglected. Thus, we want to describe these wonderful and ancient animals and their relationship with human well-being and highlight the crucial role they have in the ecosystems as predators and how agricultural practices are menacing the delicate balance that these organicisms hold with their webs.
