鼠害管理经历了一段停滞期，主要是因为研究工作太少，无法了解我们试图管理的物种的生物学、行为和栖息地利用情况。特别是在发展中国家，对减少依赖化学灭鼠剂或更好地针对化学灭鼠剂使用的灭鼠战略的需求日益增加。在控制昆虫和杂草害虫方面也存在类似的问题。这导致了基于生态的害虫管理（EBPM）概念的发展，该概念建立在害虫综合管理（IPM）所取得的进展的基础上。我们分析了啮齿动物害虫的这一想法，并提供了一些例子，其中啮齿动物害虫的基础生物学和生态学研究提供了更可持续和环境友好的管理策略。当我们邀请人们为这本书做出贡献时，基于生态的啮齿动物管理（EBRM）的主题是我们脑海中最重要的。其他重要的考虑因素是重点关注发展中国家的啮齿动物虫害管理，以及将啮齿动物基础研究与应用研究结合起来的重要性。如果在发展中国家，我们能够促进种群生态学的重要性，并强调针对农业生态系统水平的管理，那么我们有信心，在未来十年将看到啮齿动物害虫管理的快速进步。
Rodent pest management has gone through a period of stagnation mainly because there has been too little research effort to understand the biology, behaviour and habitat use of the species we are attempting to manage. There is a growing demand, particularly in developing countries, for rodent control strategies that either have less reliance on chemical rodenticides or can better target their use. Similar concerns exist with the control of insect and weed pests. This has led to the development of the concept of ecologically-based pest management (EBPM) which builds on the progress made with integrated pest management (lPM). We analyse this idea for rodent pests and provide examples where research on the basic biology and ecology of rodent pests has provided management strategies that are more sustainable and environmentally benign. The theme of ecologically-based rodent management (EBRM) was foremost in our minds when we invited people to contribute to this book. The other significant considerations were a focus on rodent pest management in developing countries and the importance of marrying basic and applied research on rodents. If in developing countries we can foster the importance of population ecology and an emphasis on management directed at the agroecosystem level, then we are confident that the next decade will see rapid advances in rodent pest management.
