INTRODUCTION Ecosystems comprise ecological units, such as populations, species, and communities (Krebs et al. 2024), that are intertwined within complex networks that affect agricultural productivity, fertility, and sustainability (Guimarães 2020). In recent decades, expanding human activities have progressively increased the frequency and severity of disturbance events that alter the complexity, dynamics, and function of ecosystems, including those used for cultivation (Hoque 2023).

Introduction The Asian citrus psyllid, Diaphorina citri Kuwayama, is a highly destructive pest of citrus in Florida (Bove, 2006; Grafton-Cardwell et al., 2013; Chen et al., 2021). In addition to causing feeding damage, it vectors the bacterium, Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), which is associated with citrus greening, also called huanglongbing (HLB) (Bove, 2006).
