Floral enhancement of arable field margins increases moth abundance and diversity
Moth populations have declined across large parts of north-western Europe since the mid-20th century due, in part, to agricultural intensification....
-
Farmland biodiversity: wildflower-sown islands within arable fields and grassy field margins both promote spider diversity
AbstractAgricultural intensification and the concomitant landscape homogenization is leading to a worldwide decline in farmland biodiversity....

Pest thrips do not set field margins aside: preferred wildflowers sustain pest Frankliniella spp. (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) and their migration in commercial strawberry
Wildflowers in uncultivated field margin are important resources supporting both pest and non-pest thrips populations in agroecosystems....
