Reviews
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)
