Basic knowledge of natural enemy biology and ecology is the foundation upon which the applications of biological control rest. In this chapter, aspects of the biology and ecology of arthropod parasitoids and predators are considered. The biology of vertebrates used in biological control is not covered. Following chapters cover the biologies of microbial pathogens and nematodes (Chapter 16) and weed control agents (Chapter 17).
