However, pest managers have been laboring without the tools necessary for quick and inexpensive determination of absolute pest density, which is the cornerstone of pest management decisions. This book fills that gap by demonstrating how catch numbers from monitoring traps can be translated into measures of pests per given area of crop and accurate projections of damage. An unhappy fact of life from the human perspective is that small animals such as insects, mites, mollusks, and nematodes compete severely for our food and fiber. Moreover, some of these creatures vector diseases such as malaria, which kills more than a million humans each year. An imperative of a civilized world is that pests be accurately monitored so that control measures like pesticides are used only when the benefits clearly outweigh the risks to the health of humans, non-target organisms, and the environment. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Ecology,$x2192-4759 606 $aAnimal ecology 606 $aEntomology 606 $aApplied ecology 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aBiology$xTechnique 606 $aAnimal Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015 606 $aEntomology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L25090 606 $aApplied Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19023 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 606 $aBiological Techniques$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L28000 615 0$aAnimal ecology. 615 0$aEntomology. 615 0$aApplied ecology. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aBiology$xTechnique. 615 14$aAnimal Ecology. 615 24$aEntomology. 615 24$aApplied Ecology. 615 24$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aBiological Techniques. 676 $a632.9 700 $aMiller$b James R.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$093268 702 $aAdams$b Christopher G.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aWeston$b Paul A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aSchenker$b Jeffrey H$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298274703321 996 $aTrapping of Small Organisms Moving Randomly$92502114 997 $aUNINA
