Abstract

It is argued that ACSs are “predictably ephemeral” habitats that present a selective environment that is different from that commonly envisioned for disturbed or early successional habitats, and therefore, effective biological control strategies in ACSs must include a landscape ethic that provides an abundance of permanent habitats that can act as reservoirs for indigenous and introduced natural enemies.
