The environmental safety of biological control has come  under scrutiny due to several areas of concerns: the irreversibility  of alien introductions, the prevalence of host switching to innocuous  native or beneficial species, dispersal of the biocontrol agent to new  habitats away from croplands, and the lack of research on the efficacy  and impact of biocontrol attempts. The debate has been strongly  polarized between conservationists and biological control  practitioners. \u003cem\u003eNontarget Effects of Biological Control\u003c\/em\u003e proposes  that retrospective analyses of systems in place in which nontarget  effects are now documented or suspected provide the necessary  information for planning and evaluating future releases to reduce  risk. The book presents case histories of past biological control  introductions from island and continental ecosystems.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1999-12-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792377252\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-4577-4\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 316\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312552497292,"sku":"9780792377252","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792377252.jpg?v=1771526593","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792377252","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
