• Effects of agricultural diversification on the abundance, distribution, and pest control potential of spiders: a review (2000, background): “Diversification can impede pests’ host plant finding behaviour (Root, 1973; Wratten & van Emden, 1995; Finch & Kienegger, 1997; Finch & Collier, 2000), and it can affect crop yields directly ( Theunissen & den Ouden, 1980; Tukahirwa & Coaker, 1982).”
• Agroecosystem management and biotic interactions: a review (2011, background): “The prospecting and approach behaviour of pests is severely affected by the release of allelochemical substances from the decomposing (Mabbett 1991) or living (Finch and Collier 2000) mulch, decreasing the efficiency of crop host plant localisation.”
• Secondary plants used in biological control: A review (2012, background): “The species may benefit from each other in terms of increased yield (Finch and Collier 2000; Kuepper and Dodson 2001; Finch et al. 2003).”
• The use of push-pull strategies in integrated pest management. (2007, background): “Intercropping reduces pest density in crops, principally by disrupting host location through reducing the visual apparency of the host plant (48), by repellent or deterrent semiochemicals in the nonhosts, or both (75, 78).”
• Does plant diversity benefit agroecosystems? A synthetic review. (2011, background): “…mechanisms for lower pest densities on mixed vegetation than in monoculture, such as altered plant odor due to physiological changes in the plant (Finch and Collier 2000), repellent properties of associated plants (Uvah and Coaker 1984), masking of host plant odor by other plants (Tahvanainen…”
• Companion Planting and Insect Pest Control (2013, background): “However, Finch and Collier (2000) in reference [9] suggested that even though these diverse companion plants contain different chemical profiles, it is unlikely that all would be able to mask host plant odors.”
• Companion planting – do aromatic plants disrupt host‐plant finding by the cabbage root fly and the onion fly more effectively than non‐aromatic plants? (2003, methodology): “A fourth possibility is that aromatic plants are similar to non-aromatic plants and produce their disruptive effect simply by increasing the number of green surfaces (leaves) available to the searching insects (Finch & Collier, 2000).”
• Plant apparency, an overlooked driver of associational resistance to insect herbivory (2013, background): “According to the ‘appropriate landing hypothesis’ (Finch & Collier 2000), host selection by insects is a sequential process involving an initial attraction at distance based on chemical and visual cues and then a ‘should I stay or should I go?’ decision based on cues providing information about…”
• Herbivory and plant resource competition: a review of two interacting interactions (2003, background): “At small and intermediate scales, studies show that some herbivore species react stronger to non-host plants and herbivory by these species is consequently more strongly reduced in mixed compared with monospecific stands (Finch and Collier 2000).”
• Landscape-scale interactions of spatial and temporal cropland heterogeneity drive biological control of cereal aphids (2017, background): “These mechanisms are mainly resulting from ‘appropriate’ and ‘inappropriate landing’ of pests on host or non-host plants (Finch & Collier 2000).”

• Cultural practices for managing Bemisia tabaci and associated viral diseases (2001, background): “A theoretical framework for the function of living mulches has been proposed by Finch and Collier (2000), who suggested that insect herbivores locate host plants initially through indiscriminant visual attraction to (yellow) green.”
• Relationships between insect pests and weeds: an evolutionary perspective (2005, background): “Finch and Collier (2000) proposed that host-location behavior resulting from visual and chemical orientation was modified by the retention time and behavior of insects in a crop.”
