Arthropods as bioindicators of sustainable forest management, with a focus on plantation forests (2009, background): “…of their high trophic position, complex biology, and narrow host ranges, habitat requirements for parasitic wasps are complex and specialized (Shaw, 2006), and they have recently been used as bioindicators for woodland habitats (Hilszczanski et al., 2005; Fraser et al., 2007; Maeto et al.,…”
Conservation biological control and enemy diversity on a landscape scale (2007, background): “For these species, uncultivated habitat may provide nectar and shelter (Nicholls et al., 2000; Shaw, 2006), but potentially also hinder dispersal (Cronin, 2004; Vandermeer and Carvajal, 2001).”
Landscape effects on the complex of Bactrocera oleae parasitoids and implications for conservation biological control (2009, background): “As some studies have shown, the persistence of parasitoids in the landscape can be enhanced by woodland and permanent grassland, providing alternative hosts, floral resources and key refugia from disturbance caused by farming practises (Bianchi et al. 2005; Shaw 2006; Tylianakis et al. 2004).”
