of biological control. our study system will be cereal aphids, which are among the economically most important insect pests in many parts of europe, and the most important groups of natural enemies of these aphids as well as their non-pest food sources
f data already collected by our team we will analyse how local land use and landscape composition affects natural enemy community composition and how historic shifts in natural enemy communities affect biological control
