Understanding and Enhancing Soil Biological Health: The Solution for Reversing Soil Degradation (2015, background): “Invertebrates are also important herbivores of weeds, and reduce weed seed density and emergence by consuming many of the weed seeds that fall to the soil surface [92–94].”
A review of the natural enemies of beetles in the subtribe Diabroticina (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae): implications for sustainable pest management (2009, background): “Carabids are among the most abundant generalist predators in croplands in temperate climates (Lovei and Sunderland 1996; Lundgren et al. 2006), and constitute the third group of Diabrotica predators that has received appreciable attention in predation studies.”
The Role of Ground Beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in Weed Seed Consumption: A Review (2015, background): “The granivorous taxa of the temperate region are dominated by crickets and carabid beetles (Honek et al. 2003; Lundgren et al. 2006; O’Rourke et al. 2006), and to a lesser degree include some caterpillars (Lepidoptera), weevils (Curculionidae), rove beetles (Staphylinidae) and isopods (Lundgren et…”
Ecological compatibility of GM crops and biological control (2009, unknown): “favored by reducing tillage and improving habitat stability (Stinner and House, 1990; Lundgren et al., 2006).”
Isolation from forest reduces pollination, seed predation and insect scavenging in Swiss farmland (2009, background): “Generally, experimentally exposed invertebrate cadavers disappear very rapidly (Retana et al. 1991; Lundgren et al. 2005; Yang 2006).”
Neonicotinoid insecticide travels through a soil food chain, disrupting biological control of non-target pests and decreasing soya bean yield (2015, methodology): “We restrained each waxworm to a clay ball with an insect pin through its last abdominal segment and placed each waxworm in the field under a wire mesh cage (mesh size: 1 3 cm) to exclude vertebrate predators (after Lundgren et al. 2006; Appendix S3, Supporting information).”
