Has anyone in biology written a book on the concept of "pests" how they are defined, how they spread, and their place in our understand of ecosystems and the impact of humans on those ecosystems?
You will find the word "pest" in serious scientific papers. It's just in the abstracts to explain "why this research matters" -- but it's also not well defined, it can be deeply subjective.
