Predicting Landscape Configuration Effects on Agricultural Pest Suppression [PDF]
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2020 Arthropod predators and parasitoids attack crop pests, providing a valuable ecosystem service. The amount of noncrop habitat surrounding crop fields influences pest suppression, but synthesis of new studies suggests that the spatial configuration of crops and other habitats is similarly important. Natural enemies are often more abundant in fine-grained
