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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eIntegrating Biological Control into Conservation Practice\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Contributors vi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Integrating biological control into a conservation context: why is it necessary? 1\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003eKevin M.
