• Effects of flower attractiveness and nectar availability in field margins on biological control by parasitoids (2008, background): “In addition to extending the parasitoid’s lifespan, nectar feeding can also enhance parasitoid fecundity, increasing the reproductive lifespan and/or accelerating the rate of egg maturation (Baggen and Gurr, 1998; Schmale et al., 2001; Winkler et al., 2006).”
• Attractiveness of common insectary and harvestable floral resources to beneficial insects (2011, background): “Floral resources should be viewed as a potential source for pests if they harbor more pests than the crop itself (Winkler et al., 2006).”
• Beyond nectar provision: the other resource requirements of parasitoid biological control agents (2016, background): “In the field, several studies have shown that the local availability of flowers increases the longevity and fecundity of parasitoids compared to areas with a lack of such resources (Ellis et al., 2005; Lavandero et al., 2006; Winkler et al., 2006).”
• Vegetation increases the abundance of natural enemies in vineyards (2009, background): “For instance, vegetation that provides nectar resources can increase activity of predators and parasitoids (Landis et al., 2000; Hooks et al., 2006; Winkler et al., 2006).”
• The impact of adult diet on parasitoid reproductive performance (2017, background): “In the field, parasitoids can rely on host and non-host nutrient sources, such as floral and extrafloral nectar (Lee et al. 2006; Winkler et al. 2006), hemipteran honeydew (Tena et al. 2013a) and pollen (Zhang et al. 2004).”
• Effects of honeydew sugar composition on the longevity of Aphidius ervi (2007, background): “It can increase reproductive fitness of parasitoids by increasing their longevity, fecundity, and/or parasitism rate (Jervis et al., 1996; Fadamiro & Heimpel, 2001; Siekmann et al., 2001; Wäckers, 2001; Winkler et al., 2006).”
• Biological Control of Insect Pests in Agroecosystems: Effects of Crop Management, Farming Systems, and Seminatural Habitats at the Landscape Scale: A Review (2010, background): “For example, Winkler et al. (2006) reported that nectar feeding is of crucial importance for the survival and fecundity of Diadegma semiclausum in field conditions.”
• Agroecosystem management and biotic interactions: a review (2011, background): “Experimental studies have also demonstrated that nectar feeding increases the survival and fecundity of various natural enemies of pests (Winkler et al. 2006, 2009; Tompkins et al. 2010).”
• Landscape effects on the complex of Bactrocera oleae parasitoids and implications for conservation biological control (2009, background): “Finally, the control of spontaneous vegetation may compromise the availability of nectar resources, which have been proved to enhance both parasitoid longevity (Lee et al. 2004) and fecundity (Winkler et al. 2006).”
• Assessing risks and benefits of floral supplements in conservation biological control (2010, background): “This is in stark contrast with earlier results of Winkler et al. (2006), where presence of buckwheat plants near cabbage plants dramatically increased lifespan and fecundity of D. semiclausum.”
• Honeydew as a food source for natural enemies: Making the best of a bad meal? (2008, unknown): “First of all, when no adequate sugar sources are available, the net reproductive success will often be too low to maintain a local population, even when hosts are abundant (Winkler et al., 2006).”
