Ecological Engineering is about manipulating farm habitats, making them less
facourable for pests and more attractive to beneficial insects. Though they've
received far less research attention and funding, ecological approaches may be
safer and more sustainable then their controversial cousin, genetic engineering.
This book brings together contributions from international workers leading the
fast moving field of habitat manipulation, reviewing the field and paying the
way towards the development and application of new pest management approaches.
Chapters explore the frontiers of ecological engineering methods including
molecular approaches, high tech marking and remote sensing. They also review the
theoretical aspects of this field and how ecological engineering may interact
