TL;DR: The fauna and flora recorded from the rice field were observed to follow a uniform pattern of seasonal colonization and succession during successive rice cultivation cycles, and the integrated efforts of these two groups can result in the formulation of strategies based on biodiversity as an organizing principal in the sustainable management of the Rice field agro-ecosystem.

TL;DR: Findings indicate that a stable relationship could be maintained between rice insect pests and their arthropod natural enemies through minimal biocide applications and manipulation of weed cover in the rice agroecosystem.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used ant assemblages to compare logged (>30 years) and unlogged mixed dipterocarp forest in the Sinharaja Forest Reserve, a World Heritage Site in Sri Lanka.

TL;DR: Rice fields have been in existence since th'e beginning of organized agriculture and since then a rich biodiversity has become associated with rice fields as mentioned in this paper, which has made rice fields a haven for a vast array of plant and animal life.

TL;DR: The bee fauna of the ABS is mostly composed of species that occur through much of the southeastern Coastal Plain, combined with species that are widely distributed in eastern North America, including one exotic bee that appears to have come up from tropical Florida or the West Indies.
