DOI: 10.1002/ps.5281
Abstract: BACKGROUND Although the abundance of insect natural enemies in crop fields may be influenced by the surrounding landscape and local field management, particularly insecticide use at the local scale, few studies have examined these factors… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ee/nvac036
Abstract: Abstract Landscapes with more complex composition and configuration are generally expected to enhance natural enemy densities and pest suppression. To evaluate this hypothesis for an invasive aphid pest of sorghum, Melanaphis sorghi Theobald (Hemiptera: Aphididae),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/icad.12220
Abstract: Productive and non‐productive agri‐environmental schemes (AES) were developed to support farmland biodiversity. This study compares arthropod predators between productive (organic farming) and non‐productive (sown flowering fields) AES along a landscape complexity gradient. We compared species… read more here.
