• Forest biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and the provision of ecosystem services (2017, background): “Improved effectiveness of biological control by natural enemies may also provide benefits to adjacent land uses such as agricultural crops (Veres et al. 2013).”
• Genetically engineered crops help support conservation biological control (2019, background): “, 2000), because natural enemies have been shown to benefit from increased landscape complexity (Bianchi et al., 2006; Chaplin-Kramer et al., 2011; Veres et al., 2013).”
• Crop–livestock integration beyond the farm level: a review (2016, background): “Indeed, a synthesis of 72 independent studies demonstrated that landscape heterogeneity, through its higher diversity of semi-natural habitats, increases natural crop pest control intensity and hence significantly decreases pest damage levels in crops (Véres et al. 2013).”
• The potential of different semi-natural habitats to sustain pollinators and natural enemies in European agricultural landscapes (2019, background): “This is also highly relevant for future iterations of the Common Agricultural Policy and the design and implementation of agri-environment schemes (Veres et al., 2013; Holland et al., 2017).”
• Beyond nectar provision: the other resource requirements of parasitoid biological control agents (2016, background): “A clear positive association between landscape complexity and species diversity is not always found: Veres et al. (2013) found positive, negative, and neutral effects of crop area on pest abundance in a meta-analysis, and this variation may occur because of landscape classification differences…”
• Landscape-scale interactions of spatial and temporal cropland heterogeneity drive biological control of cereal aphids (2017, background): “A review by Veres et al. (2013) reported contradictory results of host area change on pests at the landscape scale.”
• Fall armyworm in Africa: a guide for integrated pest management (2018, background): “…and landscape management approaches often arise from the interplay of ecological factors across a range of spatial scales – from plot to field to farm to landscape – that disrupt and control the pest at multiple stages throughout its life cycle (Veres et al. 2013; Martin et al. 2016) (Figure 2).”
