Effect of landscape composition and arrangement on biological control agents in a simplified agricultural system: A cost–distance approach

TLDR
Findings indicate potential for simplified agricultural landscapes to be ‘selectively’ manipulated to enhance colonization of the crop by natural enemies, but not herbivores, by improving connectivity between crops and non-crop resources, through the presence of woody vegetation.About:

TL;DR: This review uses knowledge gained from human‐modified landscapes to suggest eight hypotheses, which it hopes will encourage more systematic research on the role of landscape composition and configuration in determining the structure of ecological communities, ecosystem functioning and services.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta-analysis of crop pest and natural enemy response to landscape complexity.
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 46 landscape-level studies found that natural enemies have a strong positive response to landscape complexity, and suggests that land management strategies to enhance natural pest control should differ depending on whether the dominant enemies are generalists or specialists.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify five hypotheses for when and why natural habitat can fail to support biological pest control, and illustrate each with case studies from the literature: (1) pest populations have no effective natural enemies in the region, (2) natural habitat is a greater source of pests than natural enemies, (3) crops provide more resources for natural enemies than does natural habitat, (4) natural habitats is insufficient in amount, proximity, composition, or configuration to provide large enough enemy populations needed for pest control and (5) agricultural practices counteract enemy establishment and bioc

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: It is concluded that diversified landscapes hold most potential for the conservation of biodiversity and sustaining the pest control function and similar contributions of these landscape factors suggest that all are equally important in enhancing natural enemy populations.

On the usage and measurement of landscape connectivity
Lutz Tischendorf,Lenore Fahrig +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that measurements of connectivity provide results that can be interpreted as recommending habitat fragmentation to enhance landscape connectivity, and a new way of quantifying connectivity is suggested, which avoids this problem.
