Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores a particular instance in which a dramatic population increase of the white-marked tussock moth was rapidly curbed by the introduction of a non-native bird species, and subsequent role played by parasitic species in achieving this outcome. The author provides specific, in-depth coverage of each species associated with the population reduction, discussing their respective roles and habits. The account not only provides insight into this particular ecological event, but also serves as a case study for broader concepts of ecological balance, species interdependence, and applied population management.
