• Bird functional diversity and ecosystem services in tropical forests, agroforests and agricultural areas (2012, unknown): “This is counterproductive as insectivorous birds can be important for agriculture by removing and controlling insect pests (Greenberg et al. 2000b; Perfecto et al. 2004; Johnson et al. 2010).”
• Complex Ecological Interactions in the Coffee Agroecosystem (2014, background): “Exclosure experiments in Jamaica ( Johnson et al. 2009, 2010) and Costa Rica (Karp & Daily 2013, Karp et al. 2013) demonstrated that birds (and/or bats) significantly reduced the incidence of the main coffee pest, the coffee berry borer, which translates into an economic value of up to US$310 per…”
