Diversifying agricultural landscapes may mitigate biodiversity declines and improve pest
management. Yet landscapes are rarely managed to suppress pests, in part because …

Ecoinformatics, as defined in this review, is the use of preexisting data sets to address
questions in ecology. We provide the first review of ecoinformatics methods in agricultural …

Agricultural production has increased dramatically in the past 50 years, supported, in part,
by the simplification of agricultural landscapes. While the benefits of increased food …

Genetically‐modified crops expressing Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) proteins have been widely
cultivated, permitting an effective non‐chemical control of major agricultural pests. While …

BACKGROUND Rising global temperatures are associated with emerging insect pests,
reflecting earlier and longer insect activity, faster development, more generations per year …

Pesticide use is a key component of efficient crop production, but is associated with a suite
of costs. Understanding the main drivers of pesticide use will help us target research to …

Agricultural landscape intensification has enabled food production to meet growing demand.
However, there are concerns that more simplified cropland with lower crop diversity, less …

Landscape ecologists have long suggested that pest abundances increase in simplified,
monoculture landscapes. However, tests of this theory often fail to predict pest population …

Cotton, Gossypium hirsutum L., is planted in a wide range of environments in 78 countries
across the world and has great economic importance. A diversity of arthropods damages this …
