Aphids and their natural enemies are differently affected by habitat features at local and landscape scales
Caballero-Lopez, B.; Bommarco, R.; Blanco-Moreno, J. M.; Sans, F. X.; Pujade-Villar, J.; Rundlof, M.; Smith, H. G.Abstract
Our results suggest higher densities of generalist predators with increasing PAL Nonetheless, the greater abundance of coccinellids and carabid beetles in cereal fields embedded in simple landscapes does not necessarily imply better pest control since natural enemies may compete, thereby limiting their ability to control pests.
