• The impact of adult diet on parasitoid reproductive performance (2017, background): “Whereas the young females are not immediately conditioned by different diet compositions or even by the absence of food, the older females benefit from sugar feeding, increasing lifetime fecundity (Onagbola et al. 2007).”
• Does plant diversity benefit agroecosystems? A synthetic review. (2011, background): “…predictive modeling approaches that dot the historical literature landscape (e.g., Waage 1983, Letourneau 1990, Hamback et al. 2000, Potting et al. 2005, Frank et al. 2007, Haddad et al. 2009, Winkler et al. 2009) help to move from observational to predictive results in the application of theory.”
• Assessing risks and benefits of floral supplements in conservation biological control (2010, background): “Neither did we find an effect on sugar levels of field collected D. semiclausum (Winkler et al. 2009b).”
• Selective flowers to enhance biological control of cabbage pests by parasitoids (2012, background): “Lepidopterans are known to be more sensitive to nectar concentration than parasitoids and are often restricted to the exploitation of less concentrated sugar solutions because of their narrow tube-like proboscis (Watt, Hoch, & Mills 1974; May 1985; Winkler et al. 2009).”
• Nectar accessibility determines fitness, flower choice and abundance of hoverflies that provide natural pest control (2016, background): “…had been performed for other groups of pest natural enemies, such as hymenopteran parasitoids (W€ackers, Bj€ornsen & Dorn 1996; Begum et al. 2006; Winkler et al. 2009), lady beetles (Bertolaccini, N u~nez-P erez & Tizado 2008), lacewings (Venzon et al. 2006) and predatory mites (Van Rijn &…”
