Overview
Biological control is the suppression of pest populations with predators, parasitoids and pathogens. Historically, biological control has failed more often than it has succeeded, largely because its scientific basis has been poorly understood. This book synthesises recent theoretical developments and provides a balanced guide to the issues that need to be considered in applying theory to biological control. It will be a stimulating source book for all those interested in pest management, theoretical ecology and population biology.Book Details
