Social-ecological filters drive the functional diversity of beetles in homegardens of campesinos and migrants in the southern Andes

Abstract Homegardens are coupled social-ecological systems that act as biodiversity reservoirs while contributing to local food sovereignty. These systems are characterized by their structural complexity, while involving management practices according to gardener’s cultural origin. Social–ecological...
