Wyckhuys, Kris A.G.; Akutse, Komivi S.; Amalin, Divina M.; Araj, Salah-Eddin; Barrera, Gloria; Joy B. Beltran, Marie; Ben Fekih, IbtissemEcosystem functions such as biological pest control are mediated by the richness and abundance of service providers i.e., biological control agents (BCAs), relative contributions of individual taxa and community structure. This is especially relevant in the native range of agricultural herbivores, where a speciose community of co-evolved BCAs can prevent them from attaining pest status. Here, we use a powerful ...

International scientists formulate a roadmap for insect conservation and recovery
Harvey, Jeffrey A.; Heinen, Robin; Armbrecht, Inge; Basset, Yves; Baxter-Gilbert, James H.; Bezemer, T. Martijn; Böhm, Monika; Bommarco, RiccardoA growing number of studies are providing evidence that a suite of anthropogenic stressors — habitat loss and fragmentation, pollution, invasive species, climate change and overharvesting — are seriously reducing insect and other invertebrate abundance, diversity and biomass across the biosphere. These declines affect all functional groups: herbivores, detritivores, parasitoids, predators and pollinators. Insec...
