  • Notes: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship of remnant patches consisting of native vegetation at the local scale and the abundance of P. ficus individuals in vineyards located in Valle de Guadalupe, Baja California. Furthermore, we investigated the potential impact of regional microclimatic conditions on the incidence of P. ficus in vineyards with varying adjacent land uses. Additionally, we aimed to assess the number of parasitic wasps of the genus Anagyrus present in studied vineyards, as they may play a relevant role in pest control dynamics.
