We carried out a field study to evaluate the co-occurrence of three coconut pests, the mites<jats:italic>Aceria guerreronis<\/jats:italic>(Acari: Eriophyidae),<jats:italic>Steneotarsonemus concavuscutum<\/jats:italic>(Acari: Tarsonemidae) and the moth<jats:italic>Atheloca bondari<\/jats:italic>(Lepidoptera: Pyralidae). The eriophyid mite<jats:italic>Ac. guerreronis<\/jats:italic>is the most important coconut pest around the world, whereas<jats:italic>S. concavuscutum<\/jats:italic>and<jats:italic>At. bondari<\/jats:italic>are economically important only in some areas along the Brazilian coast. A previous study suggested that the necrosis caused by<jats:italic>Ac. guerreronis<\/jats:italic>facilitates the infestation of<jats:italic>At. bondari<\/jats:italic>larvae. Because all three species infest the area under the perianths on coconuts and<jats:italic>S. concavuscutum<\/jats:italic>also causes necrosis that could facilitate<jats:italic>At. bondari<\/jats:italic>, we evaluated the co-occurrence of all three species. We found that the occurrence of<jats:italic>At. bondari<\/jats:italic>was positively associated with<jats:italic>Ac. guerreronis<\/jats:italic>, but negatively associated with<jats:italic>S. concavuscutum<\/jats:italic>. In addition, the two mite species showed negative co-occurrence.<jats:italic>Atheloca bondari<\/jats:italic>was found on nuts of all ages, but more on nuts that had fallen than on those on the trees, suggesting that nuts infested by<jats:italic>At. bondari<\/jats:italic>tend to fall more frequently. We discuss the status of<jats:italic>At. bondari<\/jats:italic>as a pest and discuss experiments to test the causes of these co-occurrence patterns.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007485320000103","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,7]],"date-time":"2020-04-07T06:36:12Z","timestamp":1586241372000},"page":"611-619","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Field distribution patterns of pests are asymmetrically affected by the presence of other herbivores"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"110","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9804-4471","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"A.
