Biological control is the suppression of pest populations using
predators, parasitoids and pathogens. Historically, biological
control has largely been on a trial-and-error basis, and has failed
more often than it has succeeded. However by developing theories
based upon fundamental population principles and the biological
characteristics of the pest and agent, we can gain a much better
understanding of when and how to use biological control. This book
gathers together recent theoretical developments and provides a
balanced guide to the important issues that need to be considered
in applying ecological theory to biological control. It will be a
source of productive and stimulating thought for all those
interested in pest management, theoretical ecology and population
biology.
