摘要： Context Enhancing ground cover vegetation is an important agricultural practice that regulates herbivore and predator insects in agricultural landscapes. However, the effects of ground cover on the spatial distributions of these organisms have scarcely been explored. Objectives Our goal was to measure the effects of ground cover on the spatial aggregation and association of insect herbivores and predators, which might contribute to the control of herbivorous pests. Methods We conducted our experiments in peach orchards at two sites in eastern China. The two sites have experimental units with ground cover treatments that created a heterogeneous landscape. We conducted a 2-year experiment to investigate the abundance and distribution of herbivores (leafhoppers) and predators (ladybirds), using geostatistics to analyze their spatial aggregation and association. Results The abundance of predators increased and that of herbivores decreased in ground cover orchards compared to control orchards without ground cover. The proportion of spatial structure was greater than 0.75 for both herbivores and predators in the control orchards, indicating a lack of spatial aggregation, and less than 0.75 in peach orchards with ground cover, indicating spatial aggregation. The correlation of spatial aggregation between herbivores and predators was significantly positive in the ground cover treatment, indicating association of the two insect guilds. In control orchards, on the other hand, this was not significant. Conclusions The presence of ground cover increased predator abundance, spatial aggregation of herbivores and predators as well as their spatial association, suggesting a mechanism for more efficient control of herbivorous pests in peach orchards.
