Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 5, Page 1362-1371, May 2022., 2022 Whereas previous work investigates how the amount of chemical diversity in a plant population influences insect ecology, our results indicate that local spatial distribution of diversity is equally important. A key implication of this work is the potential to design cultivar mixtures spatially, at the movement scale of target organisms, to create more ...

Complex landscapes stabilize farm bird communities and their expected ecosystem services
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 4, Page 927-941, April 2022., 2022 Our results suggest that farmers can effectively manage their farms to harness ecosystem services from birds through farm diversification. Disservices provided by birds, however, appear to be most negatively impacted by landscape‐level complexity. Thus, greater incentives for farmers to increase semi‐natural cover at the landscape scale are likely ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 444-456, February 2022., 2022 Our findings highlight the need for conservation biological control to go beyond ‘one size fits all’ and consider the specific ecology of the involved organisms, even for a single crop type. Landscapes with high edge density and flowering woody plants may support natural enemies, in particular syrphids, which colonised the fields early in the season ...
