The distribution of covert microbial natural enemies of a globally invasive crop pest, fall armyworm, in Africa: enemy-release and spillover events [PDF]

, 2022
1. Invasive species pose a significant threat to biodiversity and agriculture worldwide. Natural enemies play an important part in controlling pest populations, yet we understand very little about the presence and prevalence of natural enemies during the

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.

Exploring the relationship between natural enemy biodiversity and herbivore suppression [PDF]

, 2006
Agricultural pest suppression is a valuable ecosystem service that may be enhanced by the conservation of natural enemy species. However, it is unclear how conserving natural enemy diversity per se affects the biological control of pests, because few ...
