- Mitigating the effects of insecticides on arthropod biological control at field and landscape scales (2014, background): “Lu et al. (2012) studied the impact of Bt cotton adoption in China over a 20 year span and found that the frequency of insecticide sprays decreased following the introduction of Bt cotton.”
- Defensive plant responses induced by Nesidiocoris tenuis (Hemiptera: Miridae) on tomato plants (2015, background): “As a result, crops in which zoophytophagous predators have been established become highly resilient to pest invasions (Ramakers and Rabasse 1995; Messelink et al. 2008; Lu et al. 2012).”
- Resistance Mechanisms Against Arthropod Herbivores in Cotton and Their Interactions with Natural Enemies (2013, background): “Lu et al. (2012) demonstrated a marked increase in the abundance of three types of generalist predators (ladybirds, lacewings and spiders) and decreased aphid abundance in six provinces in China.”
- Sharing a predator: can an invasive alien pest affect the predation on a local pest? (2013, background): “However generalist predators are known for their capacity to regulate herbivore arthropod populations in various ecosystems (Symondson et al. 2002; Desneux et al. 2006; Lu et al. 2012).”
- Sublethal and transgenerational effects of short-term and chronic exposures to the neonicotinoid nitenpyram on the cotton aphid Aphis gossypii (2016, background): “, they can largely modulate the strength of biocontrol services (Biondi et al. 2012, 2013a; Lu et al. 2012).”
- Genetically Engineered Crops in the United States (2014, background): “Based on data from 36 sites in 6 provinces of northern China over 1990-2010, Lu et al. (2012) found that there was an increase in beneficial insects (such as ladybirds and lacewings) and a decrease in pests (aphids) associated with the widespread use of Bt cotton reducing insecticide sprays.”
