According to the latest research, bats and birds are crucial in conserving Northern Peru's endangered dry forests and cacao yield.

Animals, including plants and birds, show significance in the ecosystems regarding biocontrol benefits and improving harvests of tropical commodity crops, including cacao.

With the expensive management of crops from pests, researchers explained that birds and bats help to control potential pests, increasing the cacao yields in Northern Peru.

The research was published in Ecological Applications. The report was also available to read on Phys.org's website.

Animals play a valuable role in the environment because they can increase the yield of crops and harvests.

In forests, birds could become helpful in sowing seeds that could help grow more trees.

According to the National Audubon Society, birds are essential in the environment, helping to pollinate fruits. It allows forests to remain healthy, ensuring they eat pests that could harm crops.

In the latest report published in Ecological Applications, the quantity and quality of harvested fruits and cacao are because of the role of birds and bats in preventing leaf damage.

The report noted that cacao yields could likely become affected due to pests, low pollination and diseases.
