Sažetak
The wide range of molecular methods, such as protein electrophoresis, ELISA, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), has been employed in trophic ecology analyses, in particular eating habits of useful predators and detection of parasitoids within the pest management programs. Furthermore, molecular methods are being improved continuously and at a fast pace, becoming more precise, and less time consuming and affordable in ecology studies. In this review, we will sum up new achievements and address new perspectives of molecular analyses of trophic interactions applied within Mediterranean agriculture, in particular in olive orchards and vineyards, and the adverse effects of pesticides on beneficial predatory arthropods. We will discuss the use of these methods within the frame of our project MEDITERATRI (Croatian Science Foundation project), dealing with predator-prey interactions within the Mediterranean agriculture, based on management types combining Neonicotinoids and Copper as pesticides and their effects on non-target invertebrates.
