Las relaciones de variables climáticas y bióticas con la dinámica de poblaciones de Forcipomyia spp. (Diptera, Ceratopogonidae) y la polinización del cacaotero en Bahía, Brasil
The influence of climatic variables on the midge population (Forcipomyia spp.) and on the natural pollination of cacao in Bahia, Brazil, was studied. Results indicated correlations between temperature and evapotranspiration and insect populations. Heat, sunshine hours, nebulosity and water balance were correlated with natural pollinations. Heat, soil water availability, and air humidity closely interacted with Forcipomyia population and pollination. It was not possible to determine which of the climatic parameters is the single triggering element in the pollination process
