• Diet of wrinkle-lipped free-tailed bat (Tadarida plicata Buchannan, 1800) in central Thailand: insectivorous bats potentially act as biological pest control agents (2005, background): “Since biological pest control involves the use of natural enemies to suppress pest population densities to levels lower than they would otherwise be (Van Driesche and Bellows, 1996), insectivorous bats potentially act as biological pest control agents (e.g., Lee and McCracken, 2005).”
• Bats in the Anthropogenic Matrix: Challenges and Opportunities for the Conservation of Chiroptera and Their Ecosystem Services in Agricultural Landscapes (2016, background): “Many bat species consume lepidopterans, and studies in North America demonstrate bat predation on devastating pests such as corn earworm (Helicoverpa zea) and fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) moths (Lee and McCracken 2005; McCracken et al. 2012).”
• Carpe noctem: the importance of bats as bioindicators (2009, background): “…insects, including cucumber beetles, June bugs, corn earworm moths, cotton bollworm moths, tobacco budworm moths and Jerusalem crickets (Whitaker 1995, Lee & McCracken 2005), which are important agricultural pests on such crops as corn, cotton and potatoes (Whitaker 1993, Cleveland et al. 2006).”
