DOI: 10.1002/ece3.6737
Abstract: Abstract The enemy release hypothesis (ERH) attributes the success of some exotic plant species to reduced top‐down effects of natural enemies in the non‐native range relative to the native range. Many studies have tested this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9737
Abstract: Abstract Landscape‐scale factors known to influence in‐field abundance of pest herbivores and their natural enemies, but little is known about effects that operate through the shorter‐range influences exerted by habitats immediately adjacent to crop fields.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ps.6100
Abstract: Abstract BACKGROUND Understanding the spatio‐temporal dynamics of prey and predator distributions can provide valuable insights into pest management strategies and conservation of natural enemies in agro‐ecosystems. The alfalfa weevil, Hypera postica (Gyllenhal), is an economically… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10530-018-1776-2
Abstract: Ecological and historical factors influence the probability that a known invader will experience success in new locations. Using field and laboratory studies, we investigated how residence time and natural enemies (co-evolved castrating parasite, and native… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13744-018-0589-4
Abstract: Augmentation biological control has successfully replaced a lot of insecticide use in ‘closed system’ agriculture (e.g., greenhouses). The profitable commercialization of biocontrol agents in greenhouses has created an incentive to expand markets for mass-reared beneficial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s13744-019-00734-0
Abstract: Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) and predatory mirids are among the most effective natural enemies for the control of Tuta absoluta, a key pest of tomato worldwide. In the case of South America, the native EPN Heterorhabditis… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s40314-016-0365-1
Abstract: Natural enemies of insects are extremely important in preventing pest outbreaks in crop fields. Therefore, we investigate the dynamical behavior of a pest-dependent consumption pest–natural enemy (i.e., prey–predator) SEIN model concerning diseases in pest population… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocontrol.2016.12.010
Abstract: Abstract Natural biocontrol of pests can be influenced by both direct effects (spatial context, natural enemies) and indirect effects (spatial effects on natural enemies). The objectives of this study were to: 1) Evaluate the relative… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biocontrol.2019.02.016
Abstract: Abstract Classical biological control is a pest management practice frequently deployed against invasive insects. However, introduced natural enemies too often fail to establish, and this has been partly explained by climatic mismatching. We evaluate climate… read more here.
