Rosen, D. 1986 The role of taxonomy in effective biological control programs.. Agriculture, Ecosystems & Environment 15: 121-129.

Notes: Reliable taxonomy is the basis for any meaningful research in biology. This is especially true in applied biological control, where correct identification of both the target pest species and their natural enemies, and recognition of cryptic species or intraspecific entities, have been of utmost importance to the success of many projects. Species mentioned in which proper identification has been crucial for effective biological control include Parlatoria oleae and Quadraspidiotus perniciosus.
