Sustainable pest regulation in agricultural landscapes: a review on landscape composition, biodiversity and natural pest control (2006, background): “Effects included (strong) reductions of aphid densities (Basedow 1990; Östman et al. 2001a), thrips densities and thrips symptoms in leek (Den Belder et al. 2002) and reductions in crop injury by rape pollen beetles in oilseed rape (Thies & Tscharntke 1999; Thies et al. 2003).”
CONTRIBUTION OF SMALL HABITAT FRAGMENTS TO CONSERVATION OF INSECT COMMUNITIES OF GRASSLAND–CROPLAND LANDSCAPES (2002, background): “The answer may depend on the type of landscape structure, as the relative importance of local habitat quality for the strength of biotic interactions may decrease with increasing complexity of the surrounding landscape (Thies and Tscharntke 1999, Östman et al. 2001a, b).”
Efficacy and economics of shelter habitats for conservation biological control (2008, background): “By manipulating landscape structure and composition, the condition of polyphagous predatory carabid beetles could be improved, thereby potentially increasing populations of these beneficial insects (Ostman et al., 2001).”
