• Biodiversity and pest management in orchard systems. A review (2011, background): “The manipulation of the habitat of ground-dwelling arthropods, for instance, by mulching the groundcover (Miñarro and Dapena, 2003; Mathews et al., 2004) was not reviewed.”
• Agroecosystem management and biotic interactions: a review (2011, background): “Several studies have shown that the accumulation of organic matter at the soil surface almost always leads to an increase in the diversity of generalist predators (ground beetles, spiders and rove beetles; Hanna et al. 2003; Mathews et al. 2004; Schmidt et al. 2004; Pullaro et al. 2006).”
• Arthropod pest management in organic crops. (2007, background): “This suggests that increased plant diversity can benefit natural enemies by providing them with favorable microclimate (shelter) (77, 146), a source of alternative hosts or prey (108), or a supply of plant-based foods (i.”
• Codling moth granulovirus: a comprehensive review (2008, background): “…environmental manipulation such as ground cover management (Dickler 1978; Horton et al. 2003; Miñarro and Dapena 2003; Brown and Tworkiski 2004; Mathews, Bottrell, and Brown 2004) and provision of plants that provide nectar and harborage for beneficial insects or harbor alternate hosts of…”
• Abundance and diversity of soil arthropods in olive grove ecosystem (Portugal): Effect of pitfall trap type (2007, unknown): “Some agricultural practices, like the application of pesticides and tillage, disturb ground habitat structure and abundance and diversity of beneficial soil species can be reduced [12,22].”
