Movement of insect pests in agricultural landscapes
Annals of Applied Biology, 2012AbstractInsect pests continue to exact a high toll on agricultural production, in spite of intense agrochemical input. The movement of insect pests from one place to another underlies their abundance and distribution in space and time, hence, ultimately, the extent of the inflicted crop damage.

Movement of Entomophagous Arthropods in Agricultural Landscapes: Links to Pest Suppression
Annual Review of Entomology, 2014Entomophagous arthropods can provide valuable biological control services, but they need to fulfill their life cycle in agricultural landscapes often dominated by ephemeral and disturbed habitats. In this environment, movement is critical to escape from disturbances and to find resources scattered in space and time. Despite considerable research effort

Harbouring pests: rabbit warrens in agricultural landscapes
Wildlife Research, 2011Context Warrens are central to rabbit biology and available warren space can set a limit to the number of rabbits living in an area. Therefore, quantifying and analysing the distribution of rabbit warrens is a key step towards the management of the species in agricultural lands where it causes significant damage

Shelterbelts in agricultural landscapes suppress invertebrate pests
Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 2006The homogenous nature of agricultural landscapes generally reduces biodiversity of invertebrate species, but this can be partly offset by developing refuges at field margins. In Australia, shelterbelts are widely planted to provide protection for livestock and to counter salinity problems associated with rising water tables.

Landscape‐scale pest suppression is mediated by timing of predator arrival
Ecological Applications, 2015There is increasing evidence that biological control of agricultural pests is affected by the landscape context, although the mechanisms behind this pattern have received little attention. Ecological theory predicts that one key mechanism mediating successful pest suppression is early predator immigration to agricultural fields. However, the importance

Designing agricultural landscapes for natural pest control
2010The green–blue network of semi-natural non-crop landscape elements in agricultural landscapes has the potential to enhance natural pest control by providing various resources for the survival of beneficial insects that suppress crop pests. A study was done in the Hoeksche Waard to explore how generic scientific knowledge about the relationship between ...

Mosaic-Pest: a spatially explicit model for landscape management of pests
2011We developed a lattice model to simulate the spatio-temporal interactions between beetles (Meligethes aeneus) and parasitoids (Tersilochus heterocerus) in relation with landscape composition and structure. The model describes the most important processes (dispersal, mortality and fecundity) affecting population structure in space and time.
