A synthesis of subdisciplines: predator–prey interactions, and biodiversity and ecosystem functioning
The last 15 years has seen parallel surges of interest in two research areas that have rarely
intersected: biodiversity and ecosystem functioning (BEF), and multispecies predator–prey …

Biodiversity and biocontrol: emergent impacts of a multi‐enemy assemblage on pest suppression and crop yield in an agroecosystem
The suppression of agricultural pests has often been proposed as an important service of
natural enemy diversity, but few experiments have tested this assertion. In this study we …

Interactions between specialist and generalist natural enemies: parasitoids, predators, and pea aphid biocontrol
Most biological control systems involve a diverse community of natural enemies. We
investigated how specialist and generalist natural enemies differ as biological control agents …
