• Field margin vegetation enhances biological control and crop damage suppression from multiple pests in organic tomato fields (2014, background): “These entomophagous taxa are important predators of several pests of tomato (Barnadas et al., 1998; Alomar et al., 2002; Perdikis & Lykouressis, 2002, 2004a; Blaeser et al., 2004; Moll a et al., 2009; Urbaneja et al., 2009).”
• Alien True Bugs of Europe (Insecta: Hemiptera: Heteroptera) (2008, background): “Dicyphus tamaninii WAGNER, 1951 In its natural Mediterranean range this zoophytophagous species spontaneously colonizes greenhouses and unprotected, unsprayed tomato fields (Alomar et al. 2002).”
• Prospects for predatory mirid bugs as biocontrol agents of aphids in sweet peppers (2015, background): “The three predatory mirid bugs tested in this study are native natural enemies that spontaneously appear in various crops in the Mediterranean basin (Alomar et al. 2002; Gonzalez-Cabrera et al. 2011).”
• Sharing a predator: can an invasive alien pest affect the predation on a local pest? (2013, background): “pygmaeus depends on the number of available prey (Fauvel et al. 1987; Alomar et al. 2002).”
• Suitability of the tomato borer Tuta absoluta as prey for Macrolophus pygmaeus and Nesidiocoris tenuis (2009, background): “The leaf petiole was sealed to the Eppendorf with plasticine (Plastilina Jovi ; JOVI, S.A. Barcelona, Spain).”
• Life history parameters for Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) (Het., Miridae) under different temperature regimes (2009, background): “Macrolophus melanotoma (Costa)] and N. tenuis colonize tomato crops when the use of pesticides is reduced (Alomar and Albajes 1996; Alomar et al. 2002; Arnó et al. 2006).”
• Biological control of Bemisia tabaci using predators and parasitoids (2001, background): “…in cotton (Geocoris spp., Orius spp., Deraeocoris spp.) or vegetables (Macrolophus spp.) may colonize plants and establish resident populations in the crop early in the season, a time of low prey densities, and help prevent later pest build-ups (Ehler and Miller, 1978; Alomar et al., 2001).”
