TLDR
In this paper, the existence of a hierarchy for the types of benefits of increased biodiversity is discussed, and the ways in which agricultural biodiversity may be increased to favour pest management are examined.About:

Crop–noncrop spillover: arable fields affect trophic interactions on wild plants in surrounding habitats
David Joachim Gladbach,Andrea Holzschuh,Christoph Scherber,Carsten Thies,Carsten F. Dormann,Teja Tscharntke +5 more
TL;DR: It is shown that spillover from cropland affects parasitism rates on related wild plants outside croplands, which has not been shown so far, but can be expected to be a widespread effect shaping noncrop food webs.

The management of bee communities by intercropping with flowering basil ( Ocimum basilicum ) enhances pollination and yield of bell pepper ( Capsicum annuum )
Ana Lúcia C. Pereira,Tainá Cruz Taques,Janete Oliveira S. Valim,Ana Paula Madureira,Wellington G. Campos +4 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that agricultural systems designed to attract and retain pollinators are more productive than growing pure stands and the role of provisioning floral resources to enhance bee conservation and management in anthropogenic ecosystems is highlighted.

The attractiveness of flowering herbaceous plants to bees (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) and hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphidae) in agro‐ecosystems of Central Spain
TL;DR: Diplotaxis tenuifolia was the only plant with a high attractiveness efficiency to pollinators and efficient self‐reproduction and is highly recommended species for attracting bees and hoverflies in agro‐ecosystems of Central Spain.

Organization of a Plant-Arthropod Association in Simple and Diverse Habitats: The Fauna of Collards (Brassica Oleracea)
TL;DR: The results suggest a new proposition, the resource concentration hypothesis, which states that herbivores are more likely to find and remain on hosts that are growing in dense or nearly pure stands; that the most specialized species frequently attain higher relative densities in simple environments; and that biomass tends to become concentrated in a few species, causing a decrease in the diversity of herbsivores in pure stands.

Habitat Management to Conserve Natural Enemies of Arthropod Pests in Agriculture
TL;DR: The rapidly expanding literature on habitat management is reviewed with attention to practices for favoring predators and parasitoids, implementation of habitat management, and the contributions of modeling and ecological theory to this developing area of conservation biological control.

Vegetational Diversity and Arthropod Population Response
TL;DR: Vegetational diversity plays a central role in this research renaissance on cultural and biological controls in entomology because it involves mixing different kinds of plants in a plant community.
