Nectar accessibility determines fitness, flower choice and abundance of hoverflies that provide natural pest control (2016, background): “Since several weeds have shallow flowers, for example Matricaria recutita, Cirsium arvense and Persicaria maculosa, selective weeding (c.f. Barberi et al. 2010), could be an alternative or additional strategy for providing zoophagous hoverflies with the resources they need.”
Weed-insect pollinator networks as bio-indicators of ecological sustainability in agriculture. A review (2016, background): “Increased habitat diversity , structural heterogeneity, and reduced patch disturbance can significantly promote species richness and genetic variability and reduce extinction rates of many species (Barbault 1995; Dover 1996; Potts et al. 2009; Bàrberi et al. 2010).”
