• Evaluation of Neoseiulus cucumeris and Amblyseius swirskii (Acari: Phytoseiidae) as biological control agents of chilli thrips, Scirtothrips dorsalis (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) on pepper (2009, background): “One strategy to improve biological control in these cases is the provision of alternate food to promote survival of predators during times of low or zero pest density (Wade et al., 2008; Wackers et al., 2007).”
• Conservation biological control using fungal entomopathogens (2010, unknown): “The majority of examples of conservation biological control to date have been for arthropod natural enemies (e.g. Barbosa 1998; Gurr et al. 2004; Fiedler et al. 2008; Griffiths et al. 2008; Jonsson et al. 2008; Wade et al. 2008).”
• The Banker Plant Method in Biological Control (2011, background): “Application of artificial food in the form of liquid food sprays, typically composed of carbohydrates and perhaps including protein-rich ingredients, also has great potential, but is still in development (Wade et al., 2008).”
• Enhancing pest control in annual crops by conservation of predatory Heteroptera (2011, background): “serve natural enemies (Mensah, 1997; Wade et al., 2008).”
• Recent advances in conservation biological control of arthropods by arthropods (2008, background): “However, the rationale for such region-wide changes needs to be based on sound ecological science (Wade et al., 2008a).”
• Nutritional aspects of non-prey foods in the life histories of predaceous Coccinellidae (2009, background): “For example, use of sugar sprays or habitat management to increase vegetational diversity often accompanies increases in biological control of key pests by coccinellid predators (Wade et al., 2008; Evans, 2009; Lundgren, 2009).”
• Aphidophagy by Coccinellidae: Application of biological control in agroecosystems (2009, background): “009 use of these artificial food sprays is, therefore, dependent on the physiological state and availability of Coccinellidae in the environment; habitat management is required to ensure that these predators are in these agroecosystems at the time of application (Hagen et al., 1971; Mensah, 2002; Wa”
• The impact of adult diet on parasitoid reproductive performance (2017, result): “Similar results are described forM. rufiventriswasps, since starved females lay more eggs than do honey-fed ones in the first day after emergence, probably as a consequence of exclusive energy allocation for reproductive activities (Hegazi et al. 2013).”
• Current status and potential of conservation biological control for agriculture in the developing world (2013, background): “The potential of artificial food sprays to increase abundance and impact of natural enemies has been recognized for over 40 years (Wade et al., 2008).”
