Do flower mixtures with high functional diversity enhance aphid predators in wildflower strips?

Do flower mixtures with high functional diversity enhance aphid predators in wildflower strips?

Among the semi-natural elements in agricultural landscapes, wildflower strips sown at field margins or within fields are potential habitats for the natural enemies of insect pests. As insects are sensitive to a variety of flower traits, we hypothesized that mixtures with high functional diversity at...
