• Molecular identification of prey in predator diets (2002, background): “…reasons (Scribner & Bowman 1998) or, more commonly, in terms of the biocontrol of a pest (Sunderland et al. 1987; Hagler et al. 1992; Sopp et al. 1992) and/or the effect of predation on prey population dynamics (Chiverton 1987; Bohan et al. 2000), scavenging must be a potential source of error.”
• Living where the food is: web location by linyphiid spiders in relation to prey availability in winter wheat (2001, background): “For large, highly mobile, carabid beetles, grid scales ranging from 16 m down to 0·25 m have been demonstrated to be appropriate (Bohan et al. 2000).”
• National-scale regulation of the weed seedbank by carabid predators (2011, unknown): “melanarius foraging for invertebrates has shown strong spatial and temporal scales of predation interaction (Bohan et al. 2000).”

• The soil food web: structure and perspectives (2002, methodology): “Immuno assays and ELISA techniques have been adopted to trace food relationships of some soil invertebrates, most importantly predators [7,25,34].”
• Modelling the dynamic spatio-temporal response of predators to transient prey patches in the field (2001, background): “Both models and experiments show variability in prey consumption, dependent on prey distribution (e.g. Cappuccino 1987; Holmes et al. 1990; Kareiva 1990; Hastings et al. 1997; Yasuda & Ishikawa 1999; Bohan et al. 2000).”
• The quality of aphids as food for generalist predators: implications for natural control of aphids (2005, background): “Other positive effects of aphids in mixed diets include increased fecundity of the ground beetle Agonum dorsale (Bilde & Toft, 1994), and in the food utilization and growth of partridge chicks (Borg & Toft, 1999, 2000).”
• Advances in molecular ecology: tracking trophic links through predator–prey food‐webs (2005, unknown): “Similar work has been carried out using PCR amplification of mtDNA (COI) to detect scavenging by the carabid beetle Poecilus versicolor (Sturm) (Coleoptera: Carabidae) upon Melolontha melolontha L. (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) (Juen & Traugott 2005).”
• Farm‐scale spatiotemporal dynamics of predatory beetles in arable crops (2005, background): “However, in other studies using grids smaller than a single field, Pterostichus melanarius has been shown to be more mobile within the year, moving in response to the distribution of slugs (Bohan et al. 2000) or aphids (Winder et al.”
• Can generalist predators be effective biocontrol agents? (2003, background): “melanarius has been shown to aggregate in areas of high slug (20, 217) and aphid (24, 243a) densities.”
