Landscape context is being considered as an important driver of pest reduction but results on <italic>B. oleae<\/italic> show inconsistency to date. Most of landscape-pest control studies focus on the dynamics of the pests within the focal crop, ignoring these dynamics in other land uses. Here we present a study in which we analyze the seasonal population dynamics of the olive pest <italic>B. oleae<\/italic> in the most important land uses of a typical olive landscape in Portugal. We found that <italic>B. oleae<\/italic> is present in all the land uses and the dynamics are very similar to those in the olive groves. However, the presence of these land uses in the landscape did not display any increase of <italic>B.oleae<\/italic> abundance within the olives groves. In contrast, a landscape mainly composed by olive groves increased the abundance of this pest. Importantly, more diverse landscapes surrounding olive groves reduce the abundance of the olive fly. Based on these findings, we can conclude that <italic>B. oleae <\/italic>is present in all the land uses of the studied landscape but that this presence does not imply an increase of <italic>B. oleae<\/italic> in olive groves. Indeed, other land uses can promote landscape diversification which is a driver of the reduction of <italic>B. oleae<\/italic> populations in olive groves. We thus encourage olive stakeholders to increase landscape diversification around their farms by promoting\/restoring other crops\/habitats.<\/p>","DOI":"10.21203\/rs.3.rs-1068293\/v1","type":"posted-content","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,1]],"date-time":"2021-12-01T00:38:33Z","timestamp":1638319113000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Landscape Simplification Increases Bactrocera Oleae Abundance In Olive Groves: Populations Dynamics In Different Land Uses."],"prefix":"10.21203","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2681-2256","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Paredes","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o Frederico","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5447-0038","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Mendes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4991-7122","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jose\u0301 Miguel","family":"Costa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2858-7803","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joana","family":"Alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9544-3936","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anto\u0301nio Alves da","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8045-4296","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jose\u0301 Paulo","family":"Sousa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Coimbra"}]}],"member":"297","container-title":[],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.researchsquare.com\/article\/rs-1068293\/v1","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.researchsquare.com\/article\/rs-1068293\/v1.html","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,29]],"date-time":"2022-07-29T03:34:03Z","timestamp":1659065643000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.researchsquare.com\/article\/rs-1068293\/v1"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,30]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.21203\/rs.3.rs-1068293\/v1","relation":{"is-preprint-of":[{"id-type":"doi","id":"10.1007\/s10340-022-01489-1","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,30]]},"subtype":"preprint"}}
