Comparison of organic and conventional farms: challenging ecologists to make biodiversity functional (2008, result): “Thus, their general outcome supported the lottery model, suggesting that greater biodiversity increases the likelihood of having the " best " predator in the mix (Denoth et al. 2002), and that other predators did not tend to disrupt the actions of that predator.”
The functional role of biodiversity in ecosystems: incorporating trophic complexity. (2007, background): “…control projects against weeds and insect pests, which concluded that the success of biological control frequently increased with the number of agents released, but that in most successful multiple-agent projects, a single species was responsible for successful control (Denoth et al. 2002).”
Maximising the contribution of native‐range studies towards the identification and prioritisation of weed biocontrol agents (2006, background): “…of the native fauna will maximise the probability of locating an effective agent, help decisions regarding the optimal sequence of agent release (Denoth et al. 2002) and help in deciding when options for biological control have been exhausted for a particular target (Muller-Scharer et al. 1991).”
Habitat manipulation to mitigate the impacts of invasive arthropod pests (2010, background): “In many cases success of classical biological control programmes has been attributed to single species, even if multiple species have been introduced (Denoth et al. 2002).”
The role of pre-release efficacy assessment in selecting classical biological control agents for weeds—applying the Anna Karenina principle (2005, background): “Denoth et al. (2002) showed that in 54% of successful weed biocontrol projects in which multiple agents were released, a single agent was responsible for control.”
Biodiversity and biocontrol: emergent impacts of a multi-enemy assemblage on pest suppression and crop yield in an agroecosystem (2003, background): “Three avenues of research are stimulating greater interest in the role of natural enemy diversity per se. First, there is a long-standing, but unresolved, debate among biocontrol experts over whether introduction of multiple natural enemies leads to more efficient pest suppression than the release o”
Cascading effects of predator richness (2008, neutral): “For example , Denoth et al. (2002) reviewed the results of 108 biological control projects where predators , parasites, or pathogens were released to control insect pests.”
Shifting paradigms in the history of classical biological control (2018, background): “(e.g. Beddington et al. 1978; Hall and Ehler 1979; Hall et al. 1980; Murdoch et al. 1985; Luck 1990; Stiling 1990, 1993; Greathead and Greathead 1992; Crawley 1989; Lane et al. 1999; Denoth et al. 2002; Kimberling 2004; Mills 2006; Stephens et al. 2013; Heimpel and Mills 2017).”
A synthesis of subdisciplines: predator–prey interactions, and biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (2004, background): “For example, in a recent meta-analysis of 167 biological control projects, Denoth et al. (2002) concluded that ! while the success of biological control frequently increases with the number of agents”
What makes a successful biocontrol agent? A meta-analysis of biological control agent performance (2005, background): “Our results differ from other published reviews that advocated the use of single-species compared to multi-species against pests and weeds (e.g., Denoth et al., 2002; Myers et al., 1989) in the sense that we reviewed studies that simultaneously released one or two or more species and efficacy of b”
Are the conservation of natural enemy biodiversity and biological control compatible goals (2008, background): “In fact, a review of 108 biological control projects found no relationship between the number of agents released against arthropod pests and the success rate of biological control (Denoth et al., 2002).”
Larvicidal Efficiency of Aquatic Predators: A Perspective for Mosquito Biocontrol (2006, background): “In addition, the predator , s adaptability to the introduced environment and overall interaction with indigenous organisms need to be considered prior to introduction (Denoth et al. 2002, Carlson et al. 2004).”
