Effect of temperature on the functional response of Adalia bipunctata to Myzus persicae (2010, background): “A review by Fernández-arhex and Corley (2003) showed that most parasitoid species have a type II response, but there is no clear relationship between curve shape and biocontrol success in these insects.”
Functional responses and prey-stage preferences of three species of predacious mites (Acari: Phytoseiidae) on citrus red mite, Panonychus citri (Acari: Tetranychidae) (2010, methodology): “Nevertheless, there are some examples of natural enemies with the Type II functional response model which have been successfully used as biological control agents (Hughes et al., 1992; Fernández-Arhex and Corley, 2003).”
Functional responses can unify invasion ecology (2017, unknown): “…by national and international regulatory agencies (e.g. new EU Regulation 1143/2014) be tested for functional responses in a standardized way, analogous to tests of target specificity and efficacy of biological control agents (see Fernández-Arhex and Corley 2003; Finlay-Doney and Walter 2012).”
