• The effectiveness of classical biological control of invasive plants (2012, background): “Stiling & Cornelissen (2005) considered the impact of weed biocontrol agents as part of a broader analysis of biocontrol.”
• Larvicidal Efficiency of Aquatic Predators: A Perspective for Mosquito Biocontrol (2006, background): “However, there are several problems with this approach, and it is taking some time to turn the prospects of this technology into practical tools (Stiling and Cornelissen 2005).”
• The role of natural enemy guilds in Aphis glycines suppression (2008, background): “There is increasing recognition that established generalist predators can provide pest suppression, due to their voracity and earlier presence in the field (Chang and Kareiva, 1999; Symondson et al., 2002; Stiling and Cornelissen, 2005).”
• Control of Bemisia tabaci and Frankliniella occidentalis in cucumber by Amblyseius swirskii (2011, background): “Therefore, rates, timing, methods and frequency of natural enemy release, which can modify control capacity, must be adapted to implement augmentative biological control successfully (Collier and van Steenwyk 2004; Crowder 2006; DeBach and Rosen 1991; Huffaker and Messenger 1976; Stiling and Cornel”
• Intraguild predation involving Harmonia axyridis: a review of current knowledge and future perspectives (2008, background): “Overall, the evidence suggests that predator diversity is necessary for resilient pest suppression and that includes aphid and coccid control (Stiling and Cornelissen 2005; Cardinale et al. 2006; Pell 2008; Straub et al. 2008).”
• Preplant release of Nesidiocoris tenuis and supplementary tactics for control of Tuta absoluta and Bemisa tabaci in greenhouse tomato (2012, background): “…of natural enemy release, synchronization between prey and predator, abiotic factors (humidity, photoperiod, temperature, etc.), and pesticide use can modify the control capacity of a natural enemy (Collier & van Steenwyk, 2004; Stiling & Cornelissen, 2005; Crowder, 2006; Desneux et al., 2007).”
