The contribution of floral resources and honeydew to the performance of predatory hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae). (2013, background): “The scarcity of flowering plants in modern agricultural fields may prohibit an effective performance of these beneficial insects (Winkler et al., 2006; Olson and Wäckers, 2007; Tscharntke et al., 2007; Meyer et al., 2009).”
Agroecosystem management and biotic interactions: a review (2011, background): “Indeed, several studies have demonstrated that semi-natural habitat patches adjacent to arable fields affect top-down control (Bianchi and Wäckers 2008; Olson and Wäckers 2007).”
Vegetation increases the abundance of natural enemies in vineyards (2009, background): “Staphylinids also possess a high movement rate (through flight or wind dispersal) (Bohac, 1999) and respond positively to field margins (Michaels, 2006) from where they appear to colonize fields (Olson and Wäckers, 2007).”
Predicting the effects of climate change on natural enemies of agricultural pests (2010, background): “There are potential benefits of vegetated areas for pest control because these areas can support a high abundance and diversity of predators and parasitoids (Gurr et al., 2003; Schmidt et al., 2004b; Olson and Wäckers, 2007) (5F in Fig.”
Do sown flower strips boost wild pollinator abundance and pollination services in a spring-flowering crop? A case study from UK cider apple orchards (2017, background): “…flowering vegetation or naturally regenerated 93 vegetation may be ineffective in supporting key groups of beneficial insects 94 (Campbell et al., 2012; Olson and Wäckers, 2007) and may also generate negative 95 effects, such as increased pest problems (Wäckers et al., 2007; Winkler et al., 2010).”
Enhancing pest control in annual crops by conservation of predatory Heteroptera (2011, background): “Thus, high-quality, non-crop host plants may act as a sink rather than a source of natural enemies (Landis et al., 2000; Olson and Wäckers, 2007).”
Honeydew as a food source for natural enemies: Making the best of a bad meal? (2008, unknown): “…this method we have been able to demonstrate that in agricultural systems lacking suitable food sources, natural enemies can be severely food-deprived, with a high proportion of individuals failing to feed and average carbohydrate levels not exceeding unfed individuals (Olson and Wa¨ckers, 2007).”
