UNIVERSITAS TADULAKO Cacao agroforestry systems are common in Indonesia, but differences in local management affect biodiversity and related ecosystem services. Importantly, birds and bats alike strongly contribute to biological pest control in cacao, thereby promoting yields and sustainable farming. Our findings from many years of ecological field research, in close collaboration with Indonesian cacao farmers, are summarized and discussed in this bilingual book, written in both English and…

Bats and birds increase crop yield in tropical agroforestry landscapes.
TLDR
It is found that bat and bird exclusion increased insect herbivore abundance, despite the concurrent release of mesopredators such as ants and spiders, and negatively affected fruit development, with final crop yield decreasing by 31% across local (shade cover) and landscape gradients.

Combining high biodiversity with high yields in tropical agroforests
TLDR
This work integrates biodiversity and crop productivity data for smallholder cacao in Indonesia to exemplify for tropical agroforests that there is little relationship between yield and biodiversity under current management, opening substantial opportunities for wildlife-friendly management.

TLDR
Spatially explicit land use simulations demonstrate a potential win-win constellation, in which ecological and economic values can be preserved, if patches of forests are maintained in the agricultural landscape, which could be a viable near future option for local farmers and regional land use planners.

Spider web guilds in cacao agroforestry – comparing tree, plot and landscape‐scale management
TLDR
Results suggest spider web density could be increased by pruning of cacao trees while keeping shade trees at high density in cacao plots, and emphasize the need to consider scale dependency of crop management and web-guild-specific responses that may be related to different functional roles of spiders as a high-density predator group in agroforestry.
