Effects of agriculture expansion and intensification on the vertebrate and invertebrate diversity in the Pampas of Argentina (2011, background): “Non-herbivores may have profited from contrasts because heterogeneous landscapes support alternative hosts, host plants and provide more nectar sources (Thies et al. 2003).”
Functional biodiversity in the agricultural landscape: relationships between weeds and arthropod fauna. (2010, background): “To demonstrate this, Thies et al. (2003) determined the percentage of non-cropped land in concentric areas of 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 km diameter around the sampling site in 15 different agricultural landscapes.”
Beyond nectar provision: the other resource requirements of parasitoid biological control agents (2016, background): “In general, insects tend to respond to landscape structure at spatial scales that reflect their dispersal abilities (Thies et al., 2003; Tscharntke et al., 2005; Bianchi et al., 2006).”
The influence of landscape context and farming practices on parasitism of cereal aphids (2005, background): “These large-scale changes of landscape context are related to the local loss of diversity and ecological functioning (Kareiva, 1990; Turner and Gardner, 1991; Pickett and Cadenasso, 1995; Polis et al., 1997; Roland and Taylor, 1997; Menalled et al., 1999; Thies and Tscharntke, 1999; Tischendorf and ”
Associational Resistance and Associational Susceptibility: Having Right or Wrong Neighbors (2009, background): “Identifying the role of the landscape may be important in predicting the strength and direction of associational responses of herbivores (Thies et al. 2003).”
Agroecosystem management and biotic interactions: a review (2011, result): “These results are also confirmed by the significant differences in parasitism rates and pollen beetle damage observed in 6-year-old field margins (Thies et al. 2003).”
Manipulating plant resources to enhance beneficial arthropods in agricultural landscapes (2005, background): “They found parasitism was reduced when noncrop habitat fell below 20% of the total landscape and that the amount of noncrop habitat in a 1.5- km radius of the target field was the most important variable in determining parasitism and herbivory (Thies et al. 2003).”
Landscape composition and configuration differently affect trap-nesting bees, wasps and their antagonists (2014, background): “For example body size (Greenleaf et al., 2007; Westphal et al., 2006), trophic level (Thies et al., 2005, 2003) and resource or habitat specialisation (Tscharntke et al., 2005) may determine scale-dependent responses to landscape heterogeneity.”
Biological Control of Insect Pests in Agroecosystems: Effects of Crop Management, Farming Systems, and Seminatural Habitats at the Landscape Scale: A Review (2010, background): “Indeed, species operating at higher trophic levels may be more prone to extinction than those at lower trophic levels, because of their lower densities, more variable population size, narrower and more fragmented distribution of resources, dependence on the successful colonization of patches by host”
Valuation of ecosystem services from rural landscapes using agricultural land prices (2011, background): “5 km could provide services of biological pest control (Gardiner et al., 2009; Thies et al., 2003) and pollination (Kremen et al.”
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): “Biological control in this study was primarily restricted to predators, whose success as control agents may be influenced by local landscape factors and plant composition (Gardiner et al., 2009; Thies et al., 2003).”
Does landscape composition affect pest abundance and their control by natural enemies? A review (2013, background): “…category (Costamagna et al., 2004; 12 Letourneau and Goldstein, 2001; Marino and Landis, 1996; 13 Menalled et al., 2003; Menalled et al., 1999; Thies et al., 2003; 20 Thies et al., 2008; Thies and Tscharntke, 1999; Tscharntke et al., 2002) or increased predation in relation to woody areas (2…”
