The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A ‘Goldilocks’ hypothesis for dispersal of biological control agents (2011, background): “…voiced previously within the context of importation biological control of insects and weeds (De Clerck-Floate et al. 2005; Jonsen et al. 2007b; Hougardy and Mills 2006), as well as for augmentative biological control of insect pests (Wright et al. 2001; Kölliker-Ott et al. 2004; Seko et al. 2008).”
COMMUNITY GENETICS: EXPANDING THE SYNTHESIS OF ECOLOGY AND GENETICS (2003, background): “Recent work with an egg parasitoid recently imported from northeastern China (T. ostriniae) suggests, however, that only a single release is needed early in the season, making it more likely that releases may become economically viable (Wright et al. 2001, 2002).”
Cold storage of Trichogramma ostriniae reared on Sitotroga cerealella eggs (2002, background): “Subsequent research demonstrated its potential for inoculative releases (Hoffmann et al., 1997) and for efficient dispersal and host finding (Wright et al., 2001).”
