• INTRAGUILD PREDATION USUALLY DOES NOT DISRUPT BIOLOGICAL CONTROL (2006, background): “The use of generalist natural enemies (often intraguild predators) therefore seems less risky for biological control than anticipated so far ( van Lenteren et al., 2003 ).”
• Predicting the potential geographical distribution of the harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis, using the CLIMEX model (2008, background): “…import and release of any natural enemy as a biological control agent an environmental risk assessment can give an estimate of such an impact. van Lenteren et al. (2003) developed a methodology for assessing the risks of introducing biological control agents, which integrates information on the…”
• Benefits and risks of exotic biological control agents (2011, neutral): “…assessed with a focus on examples where the potential for non-target effects was viewed as high, like Trichogramma brassicae Bezdenko (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) or H. axyridis, although examples with low risk expectations such as E. formosa have also been evaluated (van Lenteren et al. 2003).”
• Biological control and sustainable food production (2008, background): “More recently, guidance on procedures and methods for environmental risk assessment (ERA) of non-native invertebrate biological control agents has been proposed (van Lenteren et al. 2003; Babendreier et al. 2005; van Lenteren et al. 2006b; Bigler et al. 2006).”
• Pollen as an alternative food for Harmonia axyridis (2008, background): “An important factor in the establishment of an invading species is the food range (van Lenteren et al. 2003).”
• Rearing, release and settlement prospect in Italy of Torymus sinensis, the biological control agent of the chestnut gall wasp Dryocosmus kuriphilus (2008, background): “…in Japan (Moriya et al. 1989; Murakami et al. 2001) and more recently in the USA (Rieske 2007), a quick and concrete response was made, keeping in consideration the environmental risk associated with the introduction of an exotic natural enemy (van Lenteren et al. 2003; EPPO 1997; Kimberling 2004).”
• Shifting paradigms in the history of classical biological control (2018, background): “As noted above, the new emphasis on risk also led to the development of novel risk assessment protocols for biological control (e.g. van Lenteren et al. 2003, 2006; van Driesche and Reardon 2004; Wright et al. 2005; Bigler et al. 2006; Heimpel and Mills 2017).”
• Benefits and limitations of factitious prey and artificial diets on life parameters of predatory beetles, bugs, and lacewings: a mini-review (2009, background): “Most of these life parameters have been used to evaluate the quality of commercially-produced predators (Penn et al. 1998; Grenier and De Clercq 2003; van Lenteren et al. 2003a; Callebaut et al. 2004).”
• Prospects for Importation Biological Control of the Soybean Aphid: Anticipating Potential Costs and Benefits (2004, background): “…risk to an acceptable level given (1) the potential consequences of not achieving control and (2) the probability that the introduction will be successful in solving the pest problem has not been well-deÞned in arthropod biological control (van Driesche and Hoddle 2000, van Lenteren et al. 2003).”
• Harmonia axyridis in Europe: spread and distribution of a non-native coccinellid (2008, background): “…on its wide host range (i.e. multiple prey species), ability to establish and disperse, and direct and indirect effects on non-target species (van Lenteren et al. 2003). van Lenteren et al. (2007) concluded that there are no easy ways to mitigate or reduce the risk of H. axyridis and that it…”
• The state of commercial augmentative biological control: plenty of natural enemies, but a frustrating lack of uptake (2012, background): “Where they are exotic, they should—under best practice—undergo an environmental risk assessment, which is now common practice in several countries (Cock et al. 2010; van Lenteren et al. 2003, 2006).”
• Biological traits and life table of the exotic Harmonia axyridis compared with Hippodamia variegata, and Adalia bipunctata (Col., Coccinellidae) (2004, background): “…biological control, especially for highly polyphagous predators like H. axyridis, life-table data must be integrated by other information such as its capacity to establish, its abilities to disperse, its host range, and direct and indirect effects on non-targets (van Lenteren et al., 2003).”
• Selecting arthropod biological control agents against arthropod pests: Can the science be improved to decrease the risk of releasing ineffective agents? (2005, background): “Some of the factors relevant to feasibility assessments were discussed by Barbosa and Segarra-Carmona (1993); other issues include consideration of not only the potential for unintended impacts ( van Lenteren et al., 2003 ), but also the potential eYcacy of existing indigenous agents (Michaud, 2002)”
