- Conservation biological control and enemy diversity on a landscape scale (2007, background): “For these species, uncultivated habitat may provide nectar and shelter (Nicholls et al., 2000; Shaw, 2006), but potentially also hinder dispersal (Cronin, 2004; Vandermeer and Carvajal, 2001).”
- Maximizing ecosystem services from conservation biological control: the role of habitat management. (2008, background): “, 1998; Winkler, 2005), availability of seed (Hickman and Wratten, 1996), use of plants already present in, or adapted to, agricultural areas (Altieri and Whitcomb, 1979; Foster and Ruesink, 1984; Idris and Grafius, 1995; Nentwig, 1998; Nentwig et al., 1998; Nicholls et al., 2000), previous success ”
- Comparing floral nectar and aphid honeydew diets on the longevity and nutrient levels of a parasitoid wasp (2004, background): “Buckwheat has accessible nectar and is commonly used in manipulation programs leading to improved sex ratios of parasitoids (Berndt et al., 2002), higher parasitism rates in the field (Stephens et al., 1998; English-Loeb et al., 2003), and lower pest abundance (Nicholls et al., 2000).”
- Influence of flowering cover crops on Anagrus parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) and Erythroneura leafhoppers (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) in New York vineyards (2003, background): “, 1996, 1998) or (2) providing nectar to adult wasps by planting flowering cover crops in row middles (1⁄4 ground between each row of vines) during the field season (Daane & Costello, 1998; Nicholls et al., 2000).”
