TL;DR: Analysis of the largest pest-control database of its kind shows that surrounding noncrop habitat does not consistently improve pest management, meaning habitat conservation may bolster production in some systems and depress yields in others.

TL;DR: This study provides large-scale, multitrophic, cross-regional evidence that increasing crop heterogeneity can be an effective way to increase biodiversity in agricultural landscapes without taking land out of agricultural production.

TL;DR: In this article, the potential litter decomposition was investigated by using standardized substrates (Rooibos and Green tea) for comparison of litter mass loss at 336 sites (ranging from

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used simulations based on property field maps to compare connectivity on the same landscape during seven years of crop succession for two dairy farming systems, one being representative of conventional systems of western France, the second one representative of systems undergoing intensification of production.

TL;DR: In this paper, the complementation/supplementation hypothesis was used to determine if butterflies' use of the landscape may be explained by this hypothesis and two predictions were tested: (i) butterfly "use" of herbaceous patches depends on the nature of the herbaceous patch and their management; (ii) butterflies stay preferentially in certain patch types.
