The success of a habitat specialist biological control agent in the face of disturbance

Abstract: Natural enemies that can use multiple habitats are thought to better withstand disturbances in agricultural systems than natural enemies that are habitat specialists. This is because habitat generalists have populations in multiple habitats that can serve as sources of immigrants into an agricultural crop following a disturbance. In contrast, the dynamics of habitat specialists are tightly coupled with those of one agricultural crop. Nonetheless, some habitat specialists are successful in highly disturbed envi… Show more

“…S1 to S3 and table S1). These patterns were likely caused by variation in adult parasitoid abundances; analysis of a separate field experiment that manipulated aphid abundance and systematically sampled adult parasitoids ( 26 ) found a moderate, positive response of adult parasitoid abundance to aphid density ( P = 0.00016) and very high variation in parasitoid abundance that was independent of aphid density ( P < 10 −10 ) (fig. S4 and tables S2 to S4).…”
