Functional biodiversity in the agricultural landscape: relationships between weeds and arthropod fauna. (2010, background): “Weed seed predation is then likely influenced by soil disturbance regime, whose effect seems more relevant in less intensive agricultural areas (Westerman et al., 2003).”
Seasonal patterns in post-dispersal seed predation of Abutilon theophrasti and Setaria faberi in three cropping systems (2006, background): “For example, several investigators have reported seed predation in cereal fields to be high in spring and low in late summer and autumn after crop harvest (Westerman et al. 2003; Mauchline et al. 2004).”
Integrating measurements of seed availability and removal to estimate weed seed losses due to predation (2006, background): “Calculations done by Westerman et al. (2003) indicate that differences in the estimates of annual seed losses due to predation in cereal fields may largely stem from differences in the timing of seed shed.”
Impact of agricultural management on carabid communities and weed seed predation (2007, background): “, 2001), the relative importance of cropping systems on carabid communities and weed seed predation is still not well understood (Westerman et al., 2003).”
Effects of tillage and irrigation in cereal fields on weed seed removal by seed predators (2009, methodology): “Seed predation assays, such as those used in this study, can yield valuable information as to when and where seed predators are active and which type of predator is active (Westerman et al. 2003b).”
Response and effect traits of arable weeds in agro‐ecosystems: a review of current knowledge (2017, background): “…may be a promising way to contribute to weed control, because these organisms can potentially affect both the densities and growth rates of weeds (Westerman et al., 2003; Bohan et al., 2011; De Vega et al., 2011; Eraud et al., 2015), although the actual effect of seed predation on weed dynamics…”
