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 …

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 …

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

Entomophagous arthropods can provide valuable biological control services, but they need
to fulfill their life cycle in agricultural landscapes often dominated by ephemeral and …

The aim of this study was to determine the relative effects of landscape scale management
intensity, agroecosystem type, local management intensity and edges on diversity patterns …

The concept of ecosystem services (ES) has risen to prominence based on its promise to
vastly improve environmental decision‐making and to represent nature's many benefits to …

Carabid beetles and ground-dwelling spiders inhabiting agroecosystems are beneficial
organisms with a potential to control pest species. Intensification of agricultural management …

The use of pesticides in conventional agriculture poses several risks to humans and to the
environment, and may turn out to be inefficient in the long-term as pests can develop …

It is imperative to identify farming systems that support biodiversity. Amphibians are the most
threatened class of vertebrates globally and are particularly sensitive to the impacts of …

Context Intensive agricultural management practices and landscape homogenisation are
the main drivers of biodiversity loss in agricultural landscapes. Agricultural fields are …
