Spillover of functionally important organisms between managed and natural habitats (2012, unknown): “…areas provide alternative energy sources and host species, as well as over-wintering and nesting habitats, thereby promoting populations of important natural enemy species moving into agricultural fields (Landis et al., 2000; Tscharntke et al., 2005; Bianchi et al., 2006; Rusch et al., 2010).”
Detecting pest control services across spatial and temporal scales (2013, unknown): “…pest control services lies in differentiating the role of natural enemies from that of many other variables that can influence pest distributions, such as climate, host plant presence, resource concentration and dispersal patterns (Rusch et al., 2010), when all can vary across a landscape gradient.”
Landscape-scale interactions of spatial and temporal cropland heterogeneity drive biological control of cereal aphids (2017, background): “This effect is working in two dimensions (space and time), emphasising the importance of crop rotations (Rusch et al. 2010).”
Crop–livestock integration beyond the farm level: a review (2016, background): “They depend onmanagement of agricultural areas but also other areas, such as (semi-)natural habitats (Power 2010; Rusch et al. 2010).”
