In this symposium for IOBC-NRS, we highlight outstanding entomologists advancing biological control through research, and transforming how stakeholders interact with biocontrol. We run from the molecular to the ecosystem, and highlight the diversity of scales, systems, and backgrounds contribute to a holistic entomology with improved outcomes for biocontrol.
