Abstract
⺠We sampled natural enemies in three model biofuel crops (corn, switchgrass, prairie) in different landscapes. ⺠Results suggest biofuel-driven landscape changes will shift the types of natural enemies that are abundant on farmland. ⺠At local scales, grassland biofuels may support natural enemies that are rare in existing agricultural crops like corn. ⺠At landscape scales, grasslands could benefit native coccinellids and conserve natural enemies important in annual crops.
