Synergistic effects of ground cover and adjacent vegetation on natural enemies of olive insect pests (2013, background): “…of spiders and parasitoids, by creating lternative habitats that might provide a source of migrating indiiduals into the crop (Thomas et al., 1991; Bianchi et al., 2006). et in the absence of ground cover, such habitats can be more ttractive for spiders, probably due to the scarcity of…”
Pests, pesticide use and alternative options in European maize production: current status and future prospects (2009, background): “…the establishment of a less intensively used and diverse crop pattern (Benton et al. 2003) and the management of field margins (e.g. flower strips and hedges to provide food and overwintering sites) (Kiss et al. 1993, 1997; Denys and Tscharntke 2002; Marshall and Moonen 2002; Bianchi et al. 2006).”
Sustainable pest management for cotton production. A review (2011, background): “We are however, still a long way from the objective of creating ecological infrastructures, which will support an essentially preventative pest management strategy (Bianchi et al., 2006; Boller at al., 2004).”
Ecological intensification of agriculture — sustainable by nature (2014, background): “[4–11]), that making use of the regulating functions of nature requires landscape-level agroecosystem design.”
Habitat manipulation to mitigate the impacts of invasive arthropod pests (2010, background): “Support for this hypothesis comes from various studies showing that density and diversity of natural enemies tend to be higher in landscapes with a high proportion of non-crop vegetation (see Bianchi et al. 2006 for a review).”
The expansion of modern agriculture and global biodiversity decline: An integrated assessment (2016, positive): “, 2012), including an increased likelihood of pests and pathogens adapting and proliferating on the relatively small number of crop varieties (Tscharntke et al., 2005; Bianchi et al., 2006).”
Natural enemy impact on eggs of the invasive brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), in organic agroecosystems: A regional assessment (2016, background): “…sites, a number studies have shown their influence on natural enemy populations and support the hypothesis that the differences in natural enemy activity on eggs that we recorded may have been driven by landscape structure and composition (reviewed in Bianchi et al., 2006; Letourneau et al., 2011).”
Enhancing pest control in annual crops by conservation of predatory Heteroptera (2011, neutral): “munities may be highly effective (Bianchi et al., 2010).”
Aphids and their natural enemies are differently affected by habitat features at local and landscape scales (2012, background): “The close dynamic link between specialist natural enemies and prey populations has resulted in a focus on specialists as potential biological control agents (Bianchi et al., 2006; Gurr et al., 2003).”
Multi-scale effects of landscape complexity and crop management on pollen beetle parasitism rate (2011, background): “…may have been enhanced by woodland and grassland habitats because these habitats are able to provide sources of nectar and pollen, alternative host and prey, overwintering sites and refuge against disturbance (Gurr et al. 2000; Landis et al. 2000; Bianchi et al. 2006; Drapela et al. 2008).”
