Does landscape composition affect pest abundance and their control by natural enemies? A review (2013, background): “Among hese, the manipulation of the landscape and habitat structures as been suggested as a means to influence the dynamics of both nsect pests and their natural enemies (Jonsson et al., 2010).”
A ‘Goldilocks’ hypothesis for dispersal of biological control agents (2011, background): “…methyl salicylate and other host plant-induced volatiles (James 2003; James and Price 2004; Lee 2010), and the planting of flower strips to reduce nectar foraging distances by natural enemies (Corbett 1998; Gurr and Wratten 1999; Corbett and Plant 1993; Lee and Heimpel 2005; Jonsson et al. 2010).”
Wildflower plantings enhance the abundance of natural enemies and their services in adjacent blueberry fields (2015, background): “Provision of habitat and resources to support beneficial insects can be used within conservation biological control programs to suppress pest populations (Pickett and Bugg, 1998; Landis et al., 2000; Jonsson et al., 2010).”
Beyond nectar provision: the other resource requirements of parasitoid biological control agents (2016, background): “Of 11 studies included in their meta-analysis, Jonsson et al. (2010) found that seven showed evidence of increased parasitism rates or predation, but only one demonstrated a decrease in pests and crop damage, the ultimate measure of success.”
