Landscape effects on recolonisation patterns of spiders in arable fields (2008, unknown): “Availability and quality of hibernation sites are a limiting factor for invertebrate conservation and biological control in agricultural landscapes (Pywell et al., 2005).”
Synergizing biological control: scope for sterile insect technique, induced plant defences and cultural techniques to enhance natural enemy impact. (2010, background): “Other than the food-web related effects of organic matter on biological control dealt with above, it has recently been suggested that soil organic matter content may make soils a more favorable structure for burrowing arthropods such as Coleoptera (Pywell et al., 2005).”
Biological Control of Insect Pests in Agroecosystems: Effects of Crop Management, Farming Systems, and Seminatural Habitats at the Landscape Scale: A Review (2010, background): “Indeed, several studies have reported the overwintering of pest species in uncultivated areas (Leather, 1993; Pywell et al., 2005).”
Ecology of the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae in temperate agroecosystems: Potential for conservation biological control (2007, background): “, hedgerows) are important refuges for flora and fauna that do not thrive within the cultivated arable fields (Marshall and Moonen, 2002; Maudsley et al., 2002; Pywell et al., 2005).”
