Avian pest control in vineyards is driven by interactions between bird functional diversity and landscape heterogeneity

Summary Insectivorous birds are increasingly recognized for the crucial pest control services they provide to agroecosystems. While both the foraging activity and functional diversity of birds are enhanced by multiscale habitat heterogeneity, little is known about how these relationships may influence avian top‐down control of insects. Specifically, interactive effects of bird community structure and habitat heterogeneity on pest control across...
