They can modify, degrade, or destroy wildland ecosystem structure and function, and reduce native biodiversity. Landscape-level solutions are needed to address these problems. Conservation biologists seek to limit such damage and restore ecosystems using a variety of approaches. One such approach is biological control: the deliberate importation and establishment of specialized natural enemies, which can address invasive species problems and which should be considered as a possible component of restoration. Biological control can be an effective tool against many invasive insects and plants but it has rarely been successfully employed against other groups. Safety is of paramount concern and requires that the natural enemies used be specialized and that targeted pests be drivers of ecological degradation. While modern approaches allow species to be selected with a high level of security, some risks do remain. However, as in all species introductions, these should be viewed in the context of the risk of failing to reduce the impact of the invasive species. This unique book identifies the balance among these factors to show how biological control can be integrated into ecosystem restoration as practiced by conservation biologists. Jointly developed by conservation biologists and biological control scientists, it contains chapters on matching tools to management goals; tools in action; measuring and evaluating ecological outcomes of biological control introductions; managing conflict over biological control; and includes case studies as well as an ethical framework for integrating biological control and conservation practice. Integrating Biological Control into Conservation Practice is suitable for graduate courses in invasive species management and biological control, as well as for research scientists in government and non-profit conservation organizations. 606 $aIntroduced organisms$xControl 606 $aPests$xBiological control 606 $aInvasive plants$xControl 606 $aAlien plants$xControl 606 $aConservation biology 606 $aNature conservation 615 0$aIntroduced organisms$xControl. 615 0$aPests$xBiological control. 615 0$aInvasive plants$xControl. 615 0$aAlien plants$xControl. 615 0$aConservation biology. 615 0$aNature conservation. 676 $a577/.18 700 $aVan Driesche$b Roy$0317179 701 $aSimberloff$b Daniel$01837300 701 $aBlossey$b Bernd$01837301 701 $aCauston$b Charlotte$01837302 701 $aHoddle$b Mark$0317180 701 $aMarks$b Christian O$01837303 701 $aHeinz$b Kevin M$01837304 701 $aWagner$b David L$0709742 701 $aWarner$b Keith D$01837305 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911018819103321 996 $aIntegrating Biological Control into Conservation Practice$94416005 997 $aUNINA
