Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 922–932 Abstract Many studies in recent years have investigated
the relationship between landscape complexity and pests, natural enemies and/or pest …

Agricultural intensification has resulted in a simplification of agricultural landscapes by the
expansion of agricultural land, enlargement of field size and removal of non-crop habitat …

Numerous studies show that landscape simplification reduces abundance and diversity of
natural enemies in agroecosystems, but its effect on natural pest control remains poorly …

Semi-natural habitats are integral to most agricultural areas and have the potential to
support ecosystem services, especially biological control and pollination by supplying …

Landscape management could contribute to sustainable pest control. Landscape
composition, in particular, could either directly impact a pest abundance by affecting its …

Over the past century, agricultural landscapes worldwide have increasingly been managed
for the primary purpose of producing food, while other diverse ecosystem services …

Landscape structure influences local diversity and ecosystem processes, including cross-
habitat fluxes of organisms coupling the dynamics of different habitats. The flow of …

Agricultural land use threatens ecosystem services such as biological control by natural
enemies because of simplification of habitat structure and intensification of disturbance and …

Wild pollinators have been shown to enhance the pollination of Brassica napus (oilseed
rape) and thus increase its market value. Several studies have previously shown that …

The 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 …
