• The effects of organic agriculture on biodiversity and abundance: a meta‐analysis (2005, background): “If organic farming has greater effects at smaller scales, this suggests that different processes are involved (Peterson & Parker 1998; Bommarco & Banks 2003).”
• Synthesis and future research directions linking tree diversity to growth, survival, and damage in a global network of tree diversity experiments (2018, background): “(2016) recently stressed that herbivore mobility could be a key driver of associational effects, highly mobile herbivores being more likely to disperse and choose among individual trees and patches of trees (Bommarco and Banks, 2003; Moreira et al., 2016).”
• Effects of stand tree species composition and diversity on abundance of predatory arthropods (2008, background): “The enemies hypothesis has been experimentally tested mainly in agricultural (Risch et al. 1983, Russell 1989, Andow 1991, Bommarco and Banks 2003) and grassland (Siemann et al. 1998, Koricheva et al. 2000) ecosystems.”
• Plant apparency, an overlooked driver of associational resistance to insect herbivory (2013, background): “The first hypothesis posits that natural enemies of herbivores (mostly predators and parasitoids) are more abundant (Andow 1991; Bommarco & Banks 2003), more diverse (Castagneyrol & Jactel 2012) and more effective at controlling herbivore populations (Riihimaki et al. 2005; Jactel et al. 2006) in…”
• Landscape-scale interactions of spatial and temporal cropland heterogeneity drive biological control of cereal aphids (2017, background): “Response of arthropods to crop diversification may likely be scale-dependent (Bommarco & Banks 2003).”
• The role of pre- and post- alighting detection mechanisms in the responses to patch size by specialist herbivores (2005, background): “The experimental designs often differ with regard to spatial scale, which is known to alter responses of herbivores to resource patchiness (Bommarco and Banks 2003).”
• Predator interference limits fly egg biological control by a guild of ground-active beetles (2004, background): “…the literature that habitat manipulation can increase densities of natural enemies (Barbosa, 1998; Landis et al., 2000; Pickett and Bugg, 1998), but the link between higher predator densities and improved pest suppression has been more difficult to establish (Andow, 1991; Bommarco and Banks, 2003).”
