The fact that bats suppress agricultural pests has been measured for some particular dyads of predator and prey species in both economic and food security terms. The recent emergence of new molecular techniques allows for more precise screenings of bat's diet than the traditional visual identification systems and provides further evidence that bats consume an ample array of agricultural pest species. The main focus of the regulatory services that bats provide in agroecosystems has been on crop pests that cause yield losses. Rice paddies constitute a particular agronomic system with specific challenges, not only related to crop productivity but also to human health. Dipteran density in such ecosystems poses a serious threat to human wellbeing and hinders crop production. Mosquitoes cause direct harm to human populations, transmitting a number of infectious diseases. Non‐biting midges (Chironomidae) can consume and weaken rice seedlings and can cause major yield losses.

蝙蝠积极捕食稻田中的蚊子和其他有害昆虫：对人类健康和农业的潜在影响。

蝙蝠抑制农业害虫的事实已从经济和粮食安全的角度针对某些特定的天敌和猎物种类进行了测量。与传统的视觉识别系统相比，新的分子技术的最新出现允许对蝙蝠的饮食进行更精确的筛查，并提供了进一步的证据表明，蝙蝠消耗了大量的农业害虫。蝙蝠在农业生态系统中提供的监管服务的主要重点一直放在导致产量损失的农作物害虫上。稻田构成一个特殊的农艺系统，面临着特殊的挑战，不仅与作物生产力有关，而且与人类健康有关。在这样的生态系统中，二萜的密度严重威胁着人类的健康，并阻碍了作物的生产。蚊子对人类造成直接伤害，传播许多传染病。无咬mid（Chironomidae）会消耗并削弱水稻幼苗，并可能导致严重的单产下降。
