We are reviewing studies that have estimated the impact of pesticides on pests, natural enemies and non-target species using semi-field methods, to be submitted to the Annual Review of Entomology
These include:
• Artificially assembled systems (test subjects collected from the field)
• Terrestrial model ecosystems
• Field cages or enclosures
• Field-plot or RCB design
• Split-fields (or half-fields)
The review will focus on mobile invertebrates. Between-plot movement of individuals is one of the main criticisms of small-plot studies, yet little effort has been made to understand how this constraint influences impact ratings.
