• Riau Vegetables for Singapore Consumers: A Collaborative Knowledge-Transfer Project across the Straits of Malacca (2007, background): “AVA’s extension officers advised local farmers on seed selection, nutrient usage, and later pest control techniques (Wills et al. 1998; Carlile 1995; Hajek 2004).”
• Modern approaches for the biological control of vertebrate pests: An Australian perspective (2010, methodology): “Vertebrate herbivores have also been used as biological control agents against weeds in pasture and crops (Hajek, 2004).”
• A review of the natural enemies of beetles in the subtribe Diabroticina (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae): implications for sustainable pest management (2009, background): “Three main categories of biological control are recognized: (1) classical biological control, (2) augmentation through inoculative or inundative control, and (3) natural enemy conservation (Hajek 2004).”
• Aquatic invasive species: challenges for the future (2015, background): “Considering that opportunistic pathogens preferentially infect young and stressed individuals (Skjermo & Vadstein, 1999; Hajek, 2004), host-associated invaders may play a role so far underestimated within the ecological interactions of invaded systems.”
• The development, regulation and use of biopesticides for integrated pest management (2011, background): “Worldwide, over 500 species of arthropod pests have resistance to one or 61 more insecticides [8], while there are close to 200 species of herbicide resistant weeds [9].”
• Conservation biological control using fungal entomopathogens (2010, unknown): “This improves their ability to control pest populations in a reliable way and is only possible if the biology, behaviour and ecology of both the pests and their natural enemies are understood (Eilenberg et al. 2001; Hajek 2004; Pell 2007; Pimentel 2008).”
• A Review of Resurgence and Replacement Causing Pest Outbreaks in IPM (2007, background): “Replacement of a primary pest with a secondary pest or a secondary pest outbreak occurs when a non-target, but injurious, pest population increases in a crop after it is treated with a pesticide to control a primary pest population (Hardin et al., 1995; Hajek, 2004).”
• Established and new technologies reduce increasing pest and pathogen threats to Eucalypt plantations (2013, background): “Interestingly, this was one of the first examples of biological control of an insect pest in forestry and it is treated as a classical example of the utility of this approach to dealing with forest pests (Hajek, 2004).”
• Biological control of forest plantation pests in an interconnected world requires greater international focus (2012, background): “When such programmes work, the savings over chemical or other controls can be enormous, often ranging in the tens of millions of dollars (Hajek 2004).”
• A review of introductions of pathogens and nematodes for classical biological control of insects and mites (2007, background): “parasitoids and predators in classical biological control (Hajek, 2004) also are important in the success of introduced pathogens and nematodes.”
• Biodiversity Regulation of Ecosystem Services (2005, background): “Numerous examples of successful biological control demonstrate the importance of natural enemies in controlling invasive species (Hajek 2004; see also Chapter 10).”
• Release from foliar and floral fungal pathogen species does not explain the geographic spread of naturalized North American plants in Europe (2009, methodology): “2005) and is frequently used as one of the main justifications for classical biological control programs (Mitchell & Power 2003; Hajek 2004).”
• Exotic biological control agents: A solution or contribution to arthropod invasions? (2016, background): “The field of biological control includes several different strategies and many types of natural enemies, used against an equal diversity of pests (Hajek 2004; Cock et al. 2012).”
