Contributing Authors. Preface. 1. The influence of intraguild predation on the suppression of a shared prey population: an empirical reassessment. 2. Intraguild predation usually does not disrupt biological control. 3. Multiple predator interactions and food-web connectance: implications for biological control. 4. Inter-guild influences on intra-guild predation in plant-feeding omnivores. 5. Trophic and guild interactions and the influence of multiple species on disease. 6. Intra- and interspecific interactions among parasitoids: mechanisms, outcomes and biological control. 7. Indirect effects, apparent competition and biological control. 8. Ant-hemipteran mutualisms: keystone interactions that alter food web dynamics and influence plant fitness. 9. Interspecific competition among natural enemies and single versus multiple introductions in biological control. 10. Experimental approaches to understanding the relationship between predator biodiversity and biological control. Index.
