Parasitoid Population Biology /

Parasitoid Population Biology / / ed. by Michael E. Hochberg, Anthony R. Ives.

Extraordinary in the diversity of their lifestyles, insect parasitoids have become extremely important study organisms in the field of population biology, and they are the most frequently used agents in the biological control of insect pests. This book presents the ideas of seventeen international s...
