“…If A. nemorum does not occur naturally in the cabbage field, measures could be taken to ensure its presence. We suggest testing inoculative releases combined with strategies from conservation biological control to concurrently support the naturally occurring A. nemorum population and other beneficials by enhancing the habitat, for example by sowing herbaceous borders or strips (Symondson et al 2002;Sigsgaard et al 2006).…”

“…Other strategies, like mass releases in pest‐infected areas, have been successful with other species, for example, by releasing Anthocoris spp. against the pear psyllid Cacopsylla pyri (L.; Sigsgaard et al., 2006). Also the establishment of healthy populations of natural enemies by modifying the vegetation adjacent to the orchard can increase the agroecosystem plant diversity, thus favouring a natural balance between pest arthropods and their enemies (Rieux et al., 1999; Irvin et al., 2006).…”

Quantitative information on dispersal of insects should be taken into consideration for making efficient pest management decisions. Such information was not available for the European earwig, Forficula auricularia L. (Dermaptera: Forficulidae), an important biocontrol agent in fruit orchards. A mark‐recapture experiment was carried out in Belgian orchards, where marked earwigs were released at a single point and recaptured after 1 month. Dispersal from this release point was analysed using an analytical formula of a simple diffusion model with disappearance (e.g., as a result of death) derived by Turchin & Thoeny (1993; Quantifying dispersal of southern pine beetles with mark‐recapture experiments and a diffusion model. Ecological Applications 3: 187). The cumulative number of recaptured earwigs as a function of the distance of release was used to fit the model and estimate parameters. A derived expression, in terms of these parameters, was used to estimate the frequency distribution of the population, as the radius of a circle enclosing various proportions of the earwigs’ dispersal distances. In Belgium, populations of the European earwig can have two life‐history strategies, single‐ (SBP) and double‐brood populations (DBP). Therefore, mark‐recapture experiments were carried out on both population types. We fitted data from SBP (n = 10) and DBP (n = 16) successfully in both the diffusion model and in an exponential curve. Because of the biological relevance, estimates of the diffusion model were used for calculating the frequency distributions. Males and females dispersed the same distances. No differences were found between orchards with different spatial structures (apple and pear). According to literature data, mobility of earwigs is very low compared with other arthropods, which has consequences for the efficiency of biocontrol interventions, like mass releases of earwigs or the use of hedgerows for the establishment of healthy (source) populations. Quantitative results revealed that earwigs of SBP dispersed four times further than earwigs of double‐brood populations. For instance, 95% of the population remained within a radius of 28.6 m in SBP and 7.54 m in DBP.
