This book:
- Provides a comprehensive synthesis of the diverse and wide-ranging existing literature
- Highlights natural enemies groups such as mammals, birds and reptiles which have often been overlooked in
existing literature
- Provides knowledge crucial for the conservation of indigenous species and the management of invasive species
This book provides the first coherent examination of the vast literature on the diversity of organisms that constitute
the natural enemies of terrestrial molluscs. In a series of review chapters, it provides an authoritative synthesis of
current research on predators, parasites and pathogens and how they might be used to control mollusc pests.
Readership: Students and professionals in zoology, ecology, pest management
