Different semi‐natural habitats occur on farmland, and it is the vegetation's traits and
structure that subsequently determine their ability to support natural enemies and their …

Conservation biological control aims to enhance populations of natural enemies of insect
pests in crop habitats, typically by intentional provision of flowering plants as food resources …

Natural enemy biodiversity reflects both the number of species attacking pests (species
richness) and their relative abundances (species evenness). Recent experimental work …

Providing key resources to animals may enhance both their biodiversity and the ecosystem
services they provide. We examined the performance of annual flower strips targeted at the …

The effectiveness of agri-environment schemes (AES) such as wildflower strips in promoting
farmland biodiversity has been relatively well studied. Their effects on biodiversity-mediated …

Sown flower strips are increasingly implemented within agri‐environment schemes (AES) to
increase functional biodiversity and ecosystem services such as pollination or natural pest …

In modern agricultural landscapes, many organisms providing ecosystem services such as
pollination and natural pest control are likely constrained by shortage of nectar and/or pollen …

Semi-natural habitats (SNH) are vital to sustain pollinators and natural enemies, and the
ecosystem services they provide in agroecosystems. However, little is known about the …

Biological pest control in greenhouse crops is usually based on periodical releases of mass-
produced natural enemies, and this method has been successfully applied for decades …

Conserving natural enemies has become the cornerstone for sustainable pest management.
Conservation is often attained through habitat manipulation in order to create suitable …
