Larger wildflower plantings increase natural enemy density, diversity, and biological control of sentinel prey, without increasing herbivore density (2012, background): “These requirements can be fulfilled with a diverse assemblage of flowering plants, which will provide the resources necessary to support populations of predators and parasitoids throughout the season (Landis et al., 2000; Ahern & Brewer, 2002; Büchi, 2002; Sanchez et al., 2003; Wanner et al., 2006).”
Habitat manipulation to mitigate the impacts of invasive arthropod pests (2010, background): “2008), sex-ratio (Berndt and Wratten 2005) and dispersal ability (Wanner et al. 2006) that are all likely to influence natural enemy efficacy.”
The impact of adult diet on parasitoid reproductive performance (2017, background): “Conversely, other diets have lower or no effects on parasitoid flight behavior (Wanner et al. 2006).”
Wildflower plantings enhance the abundance of natural enemies and their services in adjacent blueberry fields (2015, background): “To enhance these insects, a diverse assemblage of flowering, non-crop plants can provide the pollen and nectar necessary to support populations throughout the season (Landis et al., 2000; Wanner et al., 2006; Jonsson et al., 2008).”
