• Mitigating the effects of insecticides on arthropod biological control at field and landscape scales (2014, background): “In general, these indicate that generalist predators are not distributed randomly within agricultural fields but aggregate in areas of high pest population density (Pearce and Zalucki, 2006).”
• Vegetation increases the abundance of natural enemies in vineyards (2009, result): “Many spider species colonize crops by drifting through the air on threads of spider silk (ballooning) and responses to edges seen here are consistent with those reported elsewhere (Holland et al., 1999; Pearce and Zalucki, 2006).”
