The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Plant-Provided Food for Carnivorous Insects: a Protective Mutualism and Its Applications (2006, background): “Although appealing, the concept that habitat management can be used to promote natural enemies of agricultural pests is not a new one and has been previously discussed in other books (Barbosa 1998, Pickett and Bugg 1998, Hawkins and Cornell 1999).”
Community ecology theory as a framework for biological invasions (2002, background): “The spectacular success of biological control for some invaders, however, implies that loss of natural enemies is sometimes an important escape opportunity [7, 39 ].”
Can generalist predators be effective biocontrol agents? (2003, background): “Hawkins et al. (99) analyzed the data in a different way and concluded that successful top-down control of exotic pests on exotic crops is most frequently effected by single species of specialist parasitoid, whereas control of native herbivores on native plants in more natural areas is more often…”
