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:

Landscape perspectives on agricultural intensification and biodiversity – ecosystem service management
TL;DR: In this article, the negative and positive effects of agricultural land use for the conservation of biodiversity, and its relation to ecosystem services, need a landscape perspective, which is difficult to be found in the literature.
REVIEWS AND SYNTHESES Landscape perspectives on agricultural intensification and biodiversity - ecosystem service management
TL;DR: In this article, the negative and positive effects of agricultural land use for the conservation of biodiversity, and its relation to ecosystem services, need a landscape perspective, which may compensate for local highintensity management.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainable pest regulation in agricultural landscapes: a review on landscape composition, biodiversity and natural pest control
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resilience in Agriculture through Crop Diversification: Adaptive Management for Environmental Change
TL;DR: Crop diversification can improve resilience by engendering a greater ability to suppress pest outbreaks and dampen pathogen transmission, which may worsen under future climate scenarios, as well as by buffering crop production from the effects of greater climate variability and extreme events.

Mixing plant species in cropping systems: concepts, tools and models. A review
Eric Malézieux,Yves Crozat,Christian Dupraz,Marilyne Laurans,David Makowski,H. Ozier-Lafontaine,Bruno Rapidel,S. de Tourdonnet,Muriel Valantin-Morison +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a literature survey shows potential advantages such as higher overall productivity, better control of pests and diseases, enhanced ecological services and greater economic profitability for mixed species cropping systems.

Conservation of biodiversity within Canadian agricultural landscapes: Integrating habitat for wildlife
Pierre Mineau,Alison McLaughlin +1 more
TL;DR: The potential for non-crop areas within agricultural landscapes to be reservoirs of agronomically beneficial organisms including plants, invertebrates, and vertebrate species is discussed in this paper.

Trap cropping to manage green vegetable bug Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) in sweet corn in New Zealand
James H. Rea,Stephen D. Wratten,Richard Sedcole,Peter J. Cameron,Stuart I. Davis,R. Bruce Chapman +5 more
TL;DR: Trap cropping is recommended as an effective strategy to manage this insect and options for cultivating or spraying the trap crops to reduce bug survival are discussed.

Responses of the willow beetle Phratora vulgatissima to genetically and spatially diverse Salix spp. plantations.
L. Peacock,S. Herrick +1 more
TL;DR: The behavioural response of P. vulgatissima to vegetational diversity was consistent with the resource concentration hypothesis, with lower colonization in, and increased emigration from, mixtures compared with monocultures.

Diversity of airborne arthropods in a silvoarable agroforestry system
TL;DR: The diversity and abundance of airborne arthropods in a silvoarable agroforestry system with associated forestry and arable control areas in northern England was investigated with yellow water-pan traps.

Effects of uncultivated corridors on arthropod abundances and crop yields in soybean agroecosystems
TL;DR: The presence of corridors in soybeans suppressed populations of leaf and stem sucking pests, but not defoliators which were often more abundant in plots with corridors than in the controls, and uncultivated corridors should be established within croplands for integrated management purposes.
