Plant biodiversity enhances bees and other insect pollinators in agroecosystems. A review (2012, unknown): “In this context, many weed species within and around fields offer many important requisites for beneficial insects such as pollen, or nectar as well as microhabitats that are not available in weed-free monocultures (Landis et al. 2005).”
Efficacy and economics of shelter habitats for conservation biological control (2008, background): “…affect top-down control of herbivore prey (for broader reviews considering field margins, vegetational diversity, intercropping and habitat management readers are referred to, for example, Risch et al., 1983; Andow, 1991; Landis et al., 2000, 2005; Marshall and Moonen, 2002; Bianchi et al., 2006).”
Field margin vegetation enhances biological control and crop damage suppression from multiple pests in organic tomato fields (2014, background): “Conservation biological control practices aim at manipulating vegetation composition, structure, and function to provide alternate prey or hosts, non-host food resources including nectar and pollen, and shelter from ecological disturbances (Pickett & Bugg, 1998; Landis et al., 2005).”
Beyond nectar provision: the other resource requirements of parasitoid biological control agents (2016, background): “Importantly, parasitism rate is consistently higher in crops located close to shelter resources (Dyer & Landis, 1996, 1997a,b; Landis et al., 2005).”
Population responses by Orius insidiosus to vegetational diversity (2009, background): “Vegetational diversity may favor natural enemies such as arthropod predators in a variety of ways (Altieri and Whitcomb 1979; Barbosa 1998; Landis et al. 2000, 2005; Norris and Kogan 2005; van Emden 1963).”
