• Do corridors promote dispersal in grassland butterflies and other insects? (2007, background): “Several famiilies Vineyards with and without intersecting corridor 300 m Malaise traps, sticky traps Population gradients in vineyard blocks with and without intersecting corridor + Only one replicate of each vineyard type Nicholls et al.

• Manipulating plant resources to enhance beneficial arthropods in agricultural landscapes (2005, background): “Nicholls et al. (2001) established corridors consisting of a wide variety of flowering plants from adjacent forest habitats into vineyards.”
• The Eco-field Hypothesis: Toward a Cognitive Landscape (2005, background): “Moreover, great attention has been focused by ecologists on emerging properties of the landscape including connectivity, fragmentation, presence of edges and corridors (f.i. Wiens 1995; Danielson and Hubbard 2000; Nicholls et al. 2001; Mabry and Barrett 2002; Baudry et al. 2003; Jordan et al. 2003),”
• Context and connectivity in plant metapopulations and landscape mosaics: does the matrix matter? (2004, background): “The use of corridors enabling movement in the matrix habitat has received considerable attention, in particular for butterflies (Haddad 1999, 2000, Dover and Fry 2001), other insects (Hill 1995, Nicholls et al. 2001 ) and small mammals (Downes et al. 1997, Bolger et al. 2001, Coffman et al. 2001).”
• Conservation biological control and enemy diversity on a landscape scale (2007, background): “For instance, there are many examples of parasitism rates or natural enemy abundances being higher at the edges of fields than in the middle (Altieri and Schmidt, 1986; Corbett and Rosenheim, 1996; Thies and Tscharntke, 1999; Nicholls et al., 2001; Tscharntke et al., 2002), suggesting limitation of ”
• Sustainable pest regulation in agricultural landscapes: a review on landscape composition, biodiversity and natural pest control (2006, background): “Chrysopids, coccinellids, syrphids and parasitoids have been shown to use extra-field nectar sources and spread into surrounding crops (Hickman & Wratten 1996; Freeman Long et al. 1998; Nicholls et al. 2001) where they may suppress pest populations (White et al. 1995; Tylianakis et al. 2004).”
• Use of Riparian Corridors and Vineyards by Mammalian Predators in Northern California (2004, background): “Some vertebrate predators may utilize modified habitat (Mladenoff et al. 1995), but use of agricultural lands ultimately may be related to the distribution of remaining natural habitat and corridors across the landscape (Massolo & Meriggi 1998; Nicholls et al. 2001).”
