Abstract:
... There has been considerable progress in elucidating the physical aspects of climate change that directly impact food, feed, and fiber production. However, these impact assessments rarely account for climate induced changes associated with biological pests. The lack of collaboration between the pest management and climate science disciplines could be contributing to the problem. Therefore, we asses ...

Abstract:
... Biological control is considered by many applied ecologists and pest management specialists to be among the safest, most environmentally benign, and most cost-effective methods of pest control available. Yet the practical implementation of projects, especially for classical biocontrol, is replete with challenges large and small; some long standing, and others relatively new. Here we review some of ...
