• Small mammals in agricultural landscapes: Opposing responses to farming practices and landscape complexity (2011, background): “, 2009; Ness and Morin, 2008), but they can also be agricultural pests of various crops (Brown et al., 2007), and they represent food resources (prey) for larger mammals and birds (Salamolard et al.”
• Predation by small mammalian carnivores in rural agro-ecosystems: An undervalued ecosystem service? (2017, background): “Rodent pests, for example, account for approximately 15% of the damage caused to rural farming crops in Africa (Swanepoel et al., 2017), and such damage is dependent on the density of rodents (Brown et al., 2007).”
• Effects of agriculture expansion and intensification on the vertebrate and invertebrate diversity in the Pampas of Argentina (2011, background): “Rodents (usually monitored in agricultural landscapes because of their behaviour as pests, Stenseth et al. 2003; Singleton et al. 2005; Brown et al. 2007) are being given particular attention because of their contribution to the complexity of food webs (Ellis et al. 1998; Parera 2002; Millán de la…”
• Linear and non-linear impacts of a non-native plant invasion on soil microbial community structure and function (2011, background): “…is limited, but research examining the relationship between density and impact of crop pest species in agricultural and forestry systems has shown both linear (Poché et al. 1982; Parsons et al. 2005) and nonlinear relationships (Liebhold et al. 1993; Nava-Camberos et al. 2001; Brown et al. 2007).”
• Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Ecosystem Services in Europe: The Case of Pest Control by Vertebrates (2012, background): “Nonetheless, there are examples of rodent species’ having strong effects on agricultural crops (Brown et al. 2007), natural plant communities (Ostfeld and Canham 1993), and newly established synthetic prairie gardens (Howe et al. 2002).”
• Ecosystem Services Provided by Birds (2008, background): “Nonetheless, there are examples of rodents having strong effects in agricultural crops (Brown et al. 2007), natural plant communities (Ostfeld & Canham 1993; Cote et al. 2003; Lopez & Terborgh 2007), and newly established synthetic prairie gardens (Howe & Brown 1999, 2001; Howe et al. 2002).”
• Are avian predators effective biological control agents for rodent pest management in agricultural systems (2016, background): “Studies reviewed here in general did not related rodent abundance to crop damage (Brown et al., 2007).”
