| Abstract
|
:
|
Examines the intricate and diverse interactions between non-prey foods and natural enemies from both parties' perspectives. Starting at an organismal level, this book takes the reader on a journey that illustrates how these interactions are inextricably tied to the outcome of biological control programs targeting insects and weed seeds.
