Structure, function and management of semi‐natural habitats for conservation biological control: a review of European studies
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 …

Comparison of pollinators and natural enemies: a meta‐analysis of landscape and local effects on abundance and richness in crops
To manage agroecosystems for multiple ecosystem services, we need to know whether the
management of one service has positive, negative, or no effects on other services. We do …
