Buckwheat strip crops increase parasitism of Apolygus lucorum in cotton
TL;DR: The establishment of buckwheat strips in commercial cotton fields enhances A. lucorum parasitism and may complement existing management schemes for the polyphagous mirid bug in China and abroad.
Cultural manipulations to enhance biological control in Australia and New Zealand: progress and prospects.
TL;DR: A review of conservation biological control work in Australasia to illustrate the ecological engineering approach and the prospects for wider adoption of conservation Biological Control can be found in this article, where the authors highlight the benefits of using a rigorous, directed approach, rather than relying on a crude approximation.

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.
