• REVIEW: Ants as tools in sustainable agriculture (2015, background): “…journal issue devoted to the progress of CBC, the scarcity of studies documenting trophic effects on pest populations and crop yields was addressed; ideally also including cost-benefit studies comparing CBC with other control systems (Cullen et al. 2008; Griffiths et al. 2008; Jonsson et al. 2008).”
• Habitat manipulation to mitigate the impacts of invasive arthropod pests (2010, background): “Although large-scale adoption of such methods is still very rare globally (Cullen et al. 2008; Griffiths et al. 2008), notable exceptions do exist.”
• Enhancing pest control in annual crops by conservation of predatory Heteroptera (2011, background): “Although very few studies have included cost benefit assessments of CBC (Cullen et al., 2008), such approaches need to be undertaken to invariably assess the economic viability of the methods proposed (taking also into account the possible benefits for the provision of other ecosystem services) and ”
• Recent advances in conservation biological control of arthropods by arthropods (2008, background): “Cullen et al. (2008) also review factors that may influence uptake of CBC amongst growers and consider what policies or strategies might be introduced to increase the incentive to adopt CBC.”
• Conservation biological control using fungal entomopathogens (2010, unknown): “Although, like any control strategy, uptake will rely on economics and incentives (Gelernter 2005; Pell 2007; Cullen et al. 2008; Griffiths et al. 2008) the potential is there and warrants further investment.”
