• Eating their way to the top? Mechanisms underlying the success of invasive insect generalist predators (2010, background): “…(reviewed by Sih et al. 1998), but expands on this work by considering the individual and combined effects of [2 predator species at a time (Straub et al. 2008) This emerging field has been intensely experimental, with researchers manipulating the number of species present and measuring…”
• Preplant release of Nesidiocoris tenuis and supplementary tactics for control of Tuta absoluta and Bemisa tabaci in greenhouse tomato (2012, background): “However, interactions between natural enemies can also be antagonistic and thus impede herbivore suppression (Straub et al., 2008).”
• Diversification Practices: Their Effect on Pest Regulation and Production (2008, neutral): “…and functioning of natural enemy assemblages and pest suppression (Cardinale et al. 2003; Wilby and Thomas 2002a; Wilby and Thomas 2002b; Finke and Denno 2004; Straub et al. 2008), but a convincing link between habitat diversification, pest suppression and crop production seems to be missing.”
• Habitat manipulation to mitigate the impacts of invasive arthropod pests (2010, background): “Intra-guild interactions can be very important in determining the success of any biocontrol effort and need to be examined, as well as determining if keystone species exist in the system (Griffiths et al. 2008; Straub et al. 2008).”
• Does landscape composition affect pest abundance and their control by natural enemies? A review (2013, background): “Further, conservation of species enemy diversity does not always increase biological control because of intraguild predation or the absence of niche complementarity among enemies (Bianchi et al., 2006; Straub et al., 2008; Letourneau et al., 2009; Macfadyen et al., 2009).”
• Recent advances in conservation biological control of arthropods by arthropods (2008, background): “…way to improve the efficacy of CBC is to search for resources that selectively benefit key natural enemies (may be single or multiple species; see Straub et al., 2008), but not their antagonists or the pest (e.g. selective food plants; Begum et al., 2004; Lavandero et al., 2006; Fiedler and…”
• Beyond nectar provision: the other resource requirements of parasitoid biological control agents (2016, background): “Alternatively, suitable research should investigate the use of multiple banker-plant systems to sustain multiple natural enemies to take advantage of the positive effect of some enemy assemblages on pest suppression (Tscharntke et al., 2005; Straub et al., 2008; Frank, 2010).”
