• Comparison of organic and conventional farms: challenging ecologists to make biodiversity functional (2008, background): “However, synergistic effects of predators led to greater suppression of aphids in an alfalfa system (Cardinale et al. 2003), and increased ant diversity may enhance predation of borers in coffee ecosystems (Armbrecht and Gallego 2007).”
• The functional consequences of random vs. ordered species extinctions (2005, background): “…processes like primary production, nutrient cycling, decomposition, rates of predation, etc. (for example, Hooper & Vitousek 1997; Symstad et al. 1998; Hector et al. 1999; Naeem et al. 2000; Mulder et al. 2001; Tilman et al. 2001; Cardinale et al. 2002, 2003; Duffy et al. 2003; Loreau et al. 2003).”
• The role of natural enemy guilds in Aphis glycines suppression (2008, background): “Within-guild enemy interactions may result in either enhancement of pest suppression due to predator facilitation (Losey and Denno, 1998; Cardinale et al., 2003), or a reduction in pest control due to negative interactions such as predator interference, cannibalism, predator avoidance behavior, and ”
• Pest species diversity enhances control of spider mites and whiteflies by a generalist phytoseiid predator (2010, background): “…Horticulture, PO Box 20, 2265 ZG Bleiswijk, The Netherlands e-mail: Gerben.Messelink@wur.nl R. Van Maanen M. W. Sabelis A. Janssen IBED, Section Population Biology, University of Amsterdam, Science Park 904, 1098 XH Amsterdam, The Netherlands 2002; Cardinale et al. 2003; Casula et al. 2006).”
• Cascading effects of predator diversity and omnivory in a marine food web (2005, background): “Yet except for work in an agroecosystem ( Cardinale et al. 2003 ) there is currently little published evidence supporting this prediction.”
• Unhealthy herds: indirect effects of predators enhance two drivers of disease spread (2011, background): “However, some populations suffer both high predation and high rates of parasitism (Woodroffe 1999; Cardinale et al. 2003; Duffy 2007; Cáceres, Knight & Hall 2009; Hawlena, Abramsky & Bouskila 2010).”
• Effects of stand tree species composition and diversity on abundance of predatory arthropods (2008, background): “While there is a debate on how diverse predator assemblages have to be to exhibit an effective control of herbivore populations (Cardinale et al. 2003, Rosenheim et al. 2004, Finke and Denno 2005, Snyder et al. 2006), the abundance of predators should be a fairly straightforward measure of their…”
• Ecological Effects of Invasive Arthropod Generalist Predators (2006, background): “…AGP are members of several communities where the experimental manipulation of predator species diversity has revealed the strongest herbivore suppression when predator diversity is greatest (Cardinale et al. 2003, Snyder et al. 2006). www.annualreviews.org • Invasive Arthropod Predators 113 A nn u.”
• Relationships between biodiversity and biological control in agroecosystems: Current status and future challenges (2014, background): “Indeed, studies have shown that natural enemy diversity can promote (Cardinale et al., 2003; Snyder et al., 2006; Crowder et al., 2010) or weaken trophic cascades (Finke and Denno, 2004, 2005).”
• The functional role of biodiversity in ecosystems: incorporating trophic complexity. (2007, background): “In agricultural systems, cascading effects of biodiversity were attributed to non-additive interactions among predators, either positive (Cardinale et al. 2003) or negative (Cardinale et al. 2006b), illustrating emergent impacts of multipredator assemblages (Sih et al. 1998).”
• Sustainable pest regulation in agricultural landscapes: a review on landscape composition, biodiversity and natural pest control (2006, background): “In contrast, there is also empirical evidence that diverse communities of natural enemies are more effective in regulating herbivore populations than poor communities (Losey & Denno 1998; Cardinale et al. 2003; Schmidt et al. 2003; Snyder & Ives 2003).”
