About this title

Synopsis

Within a carnivore's lifecycle, there is often at least one stage that relies on plant-provided food, e.g., nectar. In fact, carnivore omnivory is far more common than first thought. Contributed by an international team of experts, this book suggests, among other ideas, that presence, or lack of, plant-provided foods for carnivores could determine the success or failure of agricultural ecosystems using Integrated Pest Management systems relying on predators as biological control agents.

Book Description

Within a carnivore's lifecycle there is often at least one stage that relies on plant-provided food e.g. nectar. In fact carnivore omnivory is far more common than first thought. Written by an international team of experts, this book is a topical commentary set to influence thought on plant defence-theory and evolution, and agricultural practice. Amongst other topics it suggests that presence, or lack of, plant-provided foods for carnivores could determine the success or failure of agricultural ecosystems using Integrated Pest Management systems that rely on predators as biological control agents.
