中文簡介

生物控制是一種無害環(huán)境和有效的手段，通過使用天敵來減少或減輕有害生物和有害生物的影響。生物控制的目的是通過發(fā)表原創(chuàng)的研究論文和對研究和理論的綜述來促進這一科學和技術。該雜志專門有一節(jié)是關于生物技術的報告，涉及闡明和使用基因或基因產(chǎn)品來增強生物控制劑。該雜志包括生物控制病毒，微生物，線蟲，昆蟲，螨，雜草，脊椎動物害蟲在農(nóng)業(yè)，水生，森林，自然資源，存儲產(chǎn)品，和城市環(huán)境。還包括對人和家畜節(jié)肢動物害蟲的生物防治。歡迎采用生態(tài)學、分子生物學和生物技術方法來理解生物控制。這本多學科雜志包括:昆蟲學:擬寄生物、食肉動物和病原體，以及它們通過輸入、增加和/或棲息地管理策略的使用植物病理學:拮抗、競爭、交叉保護、過寄生、低毒、通過自然發(fā)生和引入的藥劑抑制土壤線蟲學:天敵、擬寄生物和病原體，通過增加和/或棲息地管理策略進行生物控制，通過自然發(fā)生和引入的藥劑抑制土壤雜草科學:脊椎動物、無脊椎動物和病原體，并通過經(jīng)典的、增強的或生物除草劑策略來使用它們以下各節(jié)包括:分子技術:對生物控制制劑及其機制的認識進展論壇:給編輯的理論性和專題信件——作為辯論的渠道。

英文簡介

Biological control is an environmentally sound and effective means of reducing or mitigating pests and pest effects through the use of natural enemies. The aim of Biological Control is to promote this science and technology through publication of original research articles and reviews of research and theory. The journal devotes a section to reports on biotechnologies dealing with the elucidation and use of genes or gene products for the enhancement of biological control agents.The journal encompasses biological control of viral, microbial, nematode, insect, mite, weed, and vertebrate pests in agriculture, aquatic, forest, natural resource, stored product, and urban environments. Biological control of arthropod pests of human and domestic animals is also included. Ecological, molecular, and biotechnological approaches to the understanding of biological control are welcome.This multidisciplinary journal covers:Entomology:Parasitoids, predators, and pathogens and their use through importation, augmentation, and/or habitat management strategies Plant Pathology:Antagonism, competition, cross-protection, hyperparasitism, hypovirulence, and soil suppressiveness through naturally occurring and introduced agents Nematology:Predators, parasitoids, and pathogens in biological control through augmentation and/or habitat management strategies and suppressive soils through naturally occurring and introduced agents Weed Science:Vertebrates, invertebrates, and pathogens and their use through classical, augmentative, or bioherbicidal tacticsThe following sections are included:Molecular Technology:Advances in the understanding of biological control agents and their mechanisms Forum:Theoretical and special topics Letters to the Editors-serving as an avenue for debate.
