Section 7 <bc-7.htm> The Role of
Parasitoids and Predators in Natural Control Examples of Stability Measuring the Force of Natural Control Nature of Parasitism Occurrence of Parasitoidism in Insects Taxonomic Groups Important to Biological
Control General Ecology of Parasitoids Reproductive Strategies. Conclusions Exercises References Section 8 <bc-8.htm> Climate as a
Factor in the Natural Control of Organisms Introduction and Discussion Examples (cherry fruit fly, face fly, red
scale, walnut aphid, spotted alfalfa aphid, Japanese
beetle, alfalfa weevil, black scale, Klamath weed, Mexican bean
beetle, American grizzly bear, aquatic weeds, house fly, eye
gnats) Conclusions... References Section 9 <bc-9.htm> Genetic
Considerations in Biological Control (Acquisition
of Natural Enemies, Breeding, Mass Releases) The Natural Population at its Origin Natural Enemy Introductions Improving Fitness of Natural Enemies Improving Tolerance to Pesticides Exercises References Section 10 <bc-10.htm> Extranuclear
