Farmers are facing serious plant protection issues and phytosanitary risks, in particular in
the tropics. Such issues are food insecurity, lower income in traditional low-input …

▪ Abstract Population and community ecology need a large-scale perspective because local
patterns (of biodiversity) and processes (trophic interactions) are influenced by the regional …

Biodiversity is organised into complex ecological networks of interacting species in local
ecosystems, but our knowledge about the effects of habitat fragmentation on such systems …

Robert May's seminal book has played a central role in the development of ecological
science. Originally published in 1976, this influential text has overseen the transition of …

Summary 1 The distribution and abundance of animals are influenced by factors at both
local and wider landscape scales. Natural enemies of pests in arable fields often immigrate …

Analyses at multiple spatial scales may show how important ecosystem services such as
biological control are determined by processes acting on the landscape scale. We examined …

The structural complexity of agricultural landscapes influences the local biodiversity and
associated ecosystem services. Hence, developing effective biodiversity management …

We review the literature on the influence of landscape structure on butterfly distribution and
movement. We start by examining the definition of landscape commonly used in spatial …

The relative importance of bottom‐up or top‐down forces has been mainly studied for
herbivores but rarely for pollinators. Habitat fragmentation might change driving forces of …

Agricultural intensification can affect biodiversity and related ecosystem services such as
biological control, but large‐scale experimental evidence is missing. We examined aphid …
