The construction of increasingly detailed species interaction networks is extending the
potential applications of network ecology, providing an opportunity to understand complex …

Dietary metabarcoding has vastly improved our ability to analyse the diets of animals, but it
is hampered by a plethora of technical limitations including potentially reduced data output …

Spiders are among the dominant invertebrate predators in agricultural systems and are
significant regulators of insect pests. The precise dynamics of biocontrol of pests in the field …

BACKGROUND Modern pest control management systems are based on the support of
naturally occurring arthropod predators, as it has been shown that such predators offer an …

Insect populations are declining in many parts of the world, but a lack of long‐term
monitoring data is impeding our ability to understand and mitigate the causes of insect …

Understanding the habitat use and movement patterns of natural enemies in agricultural
landscapes is essential for enhancing biological pest control. Since many natural enemies …

Over the past 30 yr, multiple species of predatory Coccinellidae, prominently Coccinella
septempunctata L. and Harmonia axyridis (Pallas)(Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) have spread …

Context Predatory insects contribute to the natural control of agricultural pests, but also use
plant pollen or nectar as supplementary food resources. Resource maps have been …

Biomonitoring of agriculturally important insects is increasingly vital given our need to
understand:(a) the severity of impacts by pests and pathogens on crop yield and health and …

Abstract Ladybirds (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) are important predatory insects found in
many croplands, but their patterns of diversity and assemblage in diverse crop management …
