Natural enemies : the population biology of predators, parasites, and diseases

Following an examination of the biology and population dynamics of natural enemies, this work look in more detail at large carnivores, birds of prey, insectivorous mammals, insect parasitoids, arthropod predators, spiders, marine invertebrates, fish, cretaceous species, and others.
