Variation in postdispersal weed seed predation in a crop field (2006, background): “…reduces the seed bank and may significantly reduce the number of weeds germinating in the following year (Cromar et al. 1999; Harrison and Regnier 2003; Harrison and Regnier 2003; Marino et al. 1997; Menalled et al. 2000; Mittelbach and Gross 1984; Swanton et al. 1999; Westerman et al. 2003).”
Integrating measurements of seed availability and removal to estimate weed seed losses due to predation (2006, background): “…example, up to 88% of giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida L.) seeds were lost within 1 yr of exposure on the surface of a no-tillage corn field in Ohio (Harrison et al. 2003), and up to 70% of the weed seeds shed in cereal fields in the Netherlands were lost during one cropping season (Westerman et…”
The Role of Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in Weed Seed Consumption: A Review (2015, background): “In some cases, predation rates can be as low as 4% d21 (Brust and House 1988) but in other studies, carabids can consume the majority of seeds in a system, sometimes consuming 70% of all seeds in a given season (Harrison et al. 2003).”
Agroecosystem management and biotic interactions: a review (2011, background): “Weed populations may also decrease in size in the presence of a mulch due to an increase in the number of seed-eating ground beetles (Harrison et al. 2003; Pullaro et al. 2006).”
Impact of agricultural management on carabid communities and weed seed predation (2007, background): “Carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) are significant generalist predators in annual row-crop agricultural systems (Lee et al., 2001; Harrison and Regnier, 2003; Gallandt et al., 2005) and several carabid species consume substantial numbers of weed seeds under laboratory and field conditions (Lund”
The Worldwide Spread, Success, and Impact of Ragweed (Ambrosia spp.) (2017, background): “…for A. artemisiifolia, as the total percentage of germination strongly decreases after 4 years (Harrison et al., 2007), and the combination of low viability and high post-dispersal predation of seeds leads to a limited effectiveness of soil seed banks in this species (Harrison et al., 2001, 2003).”
