Herbivory, Predation, and Biological Control.

Murphy, Terence M.; And Others

American Biology Teacher, v54 n7 p416-19 Oct 1992

Authors describe a set of controlled ecosystems that can be used to demonstrate the effects of herbivory on the health and growth of a plant population and of predation on the growth of a primary consumer population. The system also shows the effectiveness of biological pest control measures in a dramatic way. The construction of the ecosystems is detailed. (PR)
