Klappentext zu „Trophic and Guild Interactions in Biological Control “
This volume explores modern concepts of trophic and guild interactions among natural enemies in natural and agricultural ecosystems - a field that has become a hot topic in ecology and biological control over the past decade. It is the first book on trophic and guild interactions to make the link to biological control, and is compiled by internationally recognized scientists who have combined their expertise.

Rezension zu „Trophic and Guild Interactions in Biological Control “
From the reviews:"The edited volume Trophic and guild interactions in biological control is a commendable step towards understanding the complex issues surrounding successful biological control in changing agro-ecosystems. ... An engaging collection of papers useful to any biologist interested in basic community ecology or applied entomology, the text's main strength is the diversity of natural enemies and species interactions presented. ... The primary audience for the book will be advanced students and academics." (Lee A. Dyer and Rebecca E. Forkner, Ecology, Vol. 88 (6), 2007)
