Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect aphid consumption by predators collected from 3 fields of winter wheat in the UK. A total...

The subsidy hypothesis states that communities receiving nutrient subsidies will demonstrate top-down trophic cascades where predators indirectly incr...

Generalist arthropod predators act as natural enemies of insect pests in agro-ecosystems. Crop management activities may cause a reduction in arthropo...

Sown or natural flower strips are a commonly used management practice in agroecosystems and have been demonstrated to increase the abundance of predat...

Managed systems harvested at intermediate time-scales have advantages over annual short-cycled systems in maintaining top-down control of insect herbi...

The impact of invertebrate predators on lucerne aphids (Acyrthosiphon kondoi, Therioaphis trifolii and A. pisum) was studied in the Hunter Valley, New...

The potential contribution of vertebrate predators to biological control in orchards has been largely overlooked to date. A few studies have shown tha...

As part of a research project on the population dynamics of a polyphagous noctuid pest, Helicoverpa armigera, on crops commonly grown in small-scale a...

The role of generalist predators in pest control has been neglected because generalists are not able to track pest populations. Generalist predators a...

It should be possible to design agroecosystems to reduce the severity of insect pest problems. Ecological theory about stability should be relevant wh...
