Using plant chemistry to improve interactions between plants, herbivores and their natural enemies: challenges and opportunities [PDF]
, 2021 Plant secondary (or specialized) metabolites determine multitrophic interaction dynamics. Herbivore natural enemies exploit plant volatiles for host location and are negatively affected by plant defense chemicals that are transferred through herbivores ...

The state of commercial augmentative biological control: plenty of natural enemies, but a frustrating lack of uptake [PDF]
, 2012 Augmentative biological control concerns the periodical release of natural enemies. In com- mercial augmentative biological control, natural enemies are mass-reared in biofactories for release in large numbers to obtain an immediate control of pests. The

Natural enemies drive geographic variation in plant defenses [PDF]
, 2012 Plants defend themselves against attack by natural enemies, and these defenses vary widely across populations. However, whether communities of natural enemies are a sufficiently potent force to maintain polymorphisms in defensive traits is largely ...

Hibernation of predatory arthropods in semi-natural habitats. [PDF]
, 2009 Non-crop habitats provide important resources for natural enemies. Many natural enemies hibernate in non-crop habitats, from which they may colonise arable fields in the spring.

The effect of within-crop habitat manipulations on the conservation biological control of aphids in field-grown lettuce [PDF]
, 2011 Within-crop habitat manipulations have the potential to increase the biological control of pests in horticultural field crops. Wildflower strips have been shown to increase the abundance of natural enemies, but there is little evidence to date of an ...

Detection of refuge from enemies through phenological mismatching in multitrophic interactions requires season-wide estimation of host abundance [PDF]
, 2011 The concept of ‘‘enemy-free space’’ (EFS) refers to ways of living that reduce or eliminate the vulnerability of a species to natural enemies. It has been invoked to explain host shifts of phytophagous insects.
