Biological control of thrips and whiteflies by a shared predator: Two pests are better than one (2008, background): “This is because the density of the shared natural enemy increases with the increased equilibrium density of either prey species (Holt, 1977; Müller and Godfray, 1997; Janssen et al., 1998; van Rijn et al., 2002; Morris et al., 2004).”
Honeydew as a food source for natural enemies: Making the best of a bad meal? (2008, unknown): “In spite of this, there is theoretical and experimental evidence that sugar and pollen supplements can have an important impact on carnivore–herbivore dynamics in true omnivores as well (Eubanks and Styrsky, 2005; van Rijn et al., 2002).”
Pollen as an alternative or supplementary food for the mirid predator Macrolophus pygmaeus. (2010, background): “…as suggested by Cocuzza et al. (1997) for Orius spp. Adding pollen to a crop as an alternative food source has proven successful in increasing the fecundity and abundance of several predatory mites (e.g. van Rijn et al., 2002; Duso et al., 2004; Hoogerbrugge et al., 2008; Nomikou et al., 2009).”
Pest species diversity enhances control of spider mites and whiteflies by a generalist phytoseiid predator (2010, background): “Several studies have shown the benefit of pollen in terms of enhancing pest control (Nomikou et al. 2002, 2009; van Rijn et al. 2002), but so far, this has not resulted in large-scale applications.”
Pick and Mix: Selecting Flowering Plants to Meet the Requirements of Target Biological Control Insects (2012, background): “On longer time scales, however, the enhanced production or attraction of predators is likely to tip the balance in the other direction (van Rijn et al ., 2002 ).”
Evaluation of phytoseiid predators for control of western flower thrips on greenhouse cucumber (2006, background): “Interacting populations of predator and prey often show strong fluctuations initially, which means that the result depends on the moment of sampling ( van Rijn et al., 2002 ).”
Relationships of Natural Enemies and Non-prey Foods (2009, background): “Therefore, plant-feeding omnivores are expected to remain in the habitat and prevent subsequent rapid build-ups of herbivore populations (Coll, 1998b; Eubanks and Denno, 2000; van Rijn et al., 2002).”
Life history characteristics of Frankliniella occidentalis on cucumber leaves with and without supplemental food (2003, background): “First experimental tests of this prediction proved that common cattail pollen enhanced thrips control with I. degenerans (van Rijn et al., 2002).”
Pollen subsidies promote whitefly control through the numerical response of predatory mites (2010, background): “As in apparent competition, the possibility that addition of non-prey food for predators may also result in decreased control, at least in the short term, has not received much attention in the biological control literature (van Rijn et al. 2002).”
HOW TO BE SWEET? EXTRAFLORAL NECTAR ALLOCATION BY GOSSYPIUM HIRSUTUM FITS OPTIMAL DEFENSE THEORY PREDICTIONS (2004, background): “The availability of food supplements can drive the dynamics of predator–prey (Van Rijn et al. 2002) as well as parasitoid– host systems (Wäckers 2003).”
