Invasive species cause ecological, economic and social impacts and are key drivers of
global change. This is the case for the genus Prosopis (mesquite; Fabaceae) where several …

The impacts of different biotic and abiotic limiting factors on introduced biological control
agents and their weed targets may result in geographically variable control, with implications …

Microevolution may determine both the safety and efficacy of classical biological control.
Despite a growing body of literature, there are several key unanswered questions regarding …

Climate matching can assist in exploration for biological control agents to control invasive
organisms, especially when the native range of the target organism is broad, and control is …

Invasive plants pose significant threats to biodiversity and ecosystem function globally,
leading to costly monitoring and management effort. While remote sensing promises cost …

Prosopis juliflora, un arbusto de hoja perenne, es una de las especies exóticas más
invasivas que causa daño económico y ambiental en áreas áridas y semiáridas. Se está …

Effective study in the native range to identify potential agents underpins all efforts in classical
biological control of weeds. Good agents that demonstrate both a high degree of host …

Vector control has been the most effective preventive measure against malaria and other
vector-borne diseases. However, due to concerns such as insecticide resistance and budget …

We re‐examine the higher level phylogeny and evolutionary affinities of the family
Gelechiidae (Lepidoptera: Gelechioidea) based on DNA sequence data for one …

The prioritisation of potential agents on the basis of likely efficacy is an important step in
biological control because it can increase the probability of a successful biocontrol program …
