Managing ecosystem services: what do we need to know about their ecology? (2005, background): “…1); for example, at the genetic level for maintaining pest, weed and disease resistance of crops (Luck et al. 2003), the population and/or food-web level for biological control of crop pests (Wilby & Thomas 2002), and the habitat level for water flow regulation by vegetation (Guo et al. 2000).”
Efficacy and economics of shelter habitats for conservation biological control (2008, background): “…is significant niche partitioning across microhabitats and functional complementarity among spider species for example (Sunderland, 1999), few other studies have shown significant complementarity among natural enemies (but see Snyder and Wise, 1999; Wilby and Thomas, 2002; Wilby et al., 2005).”
GREATER PREDATION IN SHADED COFFEE FARMS: THE ROLE OF RESIDENT NEOTROPICAL BIRDS (2004, unknown): “Furthermore, as coffee farms get intensified (with the reduction or elimination of shade trees), one expects that the relationship between natural enemies and potential pests will be affected (Wilby and Thomas 2002).”
Shade tree management affects fruit abortion, insect pests and pathogens of cacao (2007, background): “, 2002) and increase risks of pest outbreaks (Schroth et al., 2000; Wilby and Thomas, 2002; Tscharntke et al., 2005).”
Ecology of the entomopathogenic fungi Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae in temperate agroecosystems: Potential for conservation biological control (2007, background): “Both empirical evidence as well as simulation studies suggest that diversity in the guild of natural enemies is important for efficient biological pest control in agroecosystems (Wilby and Thomas, 2002; Cardinale et al., 2003).”
Food web complexity and higher‐level ecosystem services (2003, background): “However, both the determinants of ecosystem services in multitrophic communities and functions performed by higher trophic levels than primary producers have been rarely reported (Duffy 2002; Paine 2002; Setälä 2002; Wilby & Thomas 2002).”
Biodiversity and biocontrol: emergent impacts of a multi-enemy assemblage on pest suppression and crop yield in an agroecosystem (2003, background): “Pest suppression has been highlighted as a potentially important ecosystem service of biodiversity (Way & Heong 1994; Mooney et al. 1995; Swift et al. 1996; Schlapfer et al. 1999; Wilby & Thomas 2002 ).”
Are the conservation of natural enemy biodiversity and biological control compatible goals (2008, background): “Neutral effects of natural enemy biodiversity on biological control are expected to occur when enemy species are functionally redundant (Wilby and Thomas, 2002; Ives et al., 2005; Casula et al., 2006).”
Eating their way to the top? Mechanisms underlying the success of invasive insect generalist predators (2010, background): “…showed that two predators attacking different life stages of a prey species could coexist when the predator feeding on the earlier stage does not kill all of the prey, and enough survive to provide adequate resources for the predator feeding on the later stage (see also Wilby and Thomas 2002).”
Habitat manipulation to mitigate the impacts of invasive arthropod pests (2010, background): “Resource partitioning occurs, for example, when different natural enemy species forage on different parts of a plant (Straub and Snyder 2008), when they attack different life stages of the pest (Wilby and Thomas 2002) or feed on different pest species (Finke and Snyder 2008).”
Biological Control of Insect Pests in Agroecosystems: Effects of Crop Management, Farming Systems, and Seminatural Habitats at the Landscape Scale: A Review (2010, background): “For these reasons, natural pest regulation is considered one of the most important services of biodiversity (Fiedler et al., 2008; Schläpfer and Schmid, 1999; Wilby and Thomas, 2002), with an estimated value of more than 400 billion dollars (US) per year worldwide (Costanza et al.”
A synthesis of subdisciplines: predator–prey interactions, and biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (2004, background): “While BEF has not developed in strict isolation from PPI (Wilby & Thomas 2002; Cardinale et al. 2003; Chalcraft & Resetarits 2003), the two research areas clearly have distinct histories and different emphases (Duffy 2002).”
