Populations that experience severe stress may avoid extinction through adaptation by
natural selection. This process is called evolutionary rescue and has been studied under …

Detailed knowledge about the geographical pathways followed by propagules from their
source to the invading populations—referred to here as routes of invasion—provides …

More resilient and sustainable approaches are urgently needed to minimize crop yield
losses resulting from pest activity and reduce impacts of pest management on human health …

Natural history museum collections provide unique resources for understanding how
species respond to environmental change, including the abrupt, anthropogenic climate …

A genetic paradox, exists in invasion biology: how do introduced populations, whose genetic
variation has probably been depleted by population bottlenecks, persist and adapt to new …

▪ Abstract The Bactrocera dorsalis complex of tropical fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae:
Dacinae) contains 75 described species, largely endemic to Southeast Asia. Within the …

There is growing realisation that integrating genetics and ecology is critical in the context of
biological invasions, since the two are explicitly linked. So far, the focus of ecological …

Biological control (BC) is defined as the use of living natural enemies, antagonists, or
competitors (biological control agents) to control other living organisms. In the second half of …

Biological control of invasive species using co‐evolved natural enemies has long been
considered a safe, cost effective, and environmentally benign tool for pest management …

Biological control is widely successful at controlling pests, but effective biocontrol agents are
now more difficult to import from countries of origin due to more restrictive international trade …
