Using problem formulation for fit-for-purpose pre-market environmental risk assessments of regulated stressors. [PDF]

EFSA J, 2019
Abstract Pre‐market/prospective environmental risk assessments (ERAs) contribute to risk analyses performed to facilitate decisions about the market introduction of regulated stressors. Robust ERAs begin with an explicit problem formulation, which involves among other steps: (1) formally devising plausible pathways to harm that describe how the ...

Predation and Climate Limit Establishment Success of the Kyushu Strain of the Biological Control AgentAphalara itadori(Hemiptera: Aphalaridae) in the Northeastern United States

Environmental Entomology, 2022
AbstractSpecies of knotweeds, Reynoutria spp. Houtt. (Caryophyllales: Polygonaceae), including Japanese knotweed (R. japonica Houtt.), are among the most invasive and ecologically destructive plant species introduced to North America and Europe. The Kyushu strain of the psyllid Aphalara itadori Shinji (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae) has been approved as a ...

Microbiome of psyllids of the family Aphalaridae, including Aphalara itadori, a biocontrol agent against Reynoutria spp. [PDF]

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata
AbstractSeveral European and North American countries have started releasing the Japanese knotweed psyllid, Aphalara itadori (Shinji) (Hemiptera: Aphalaridae), to control the Japanese knotweed, Reynoutria japonica Houtt. (Polygonaceae), and its relatives, which are among the worst invasive exotic plants.

A Mathematical Model for Biocontrol of the Invasive Weed Fallopia japonica. [PDF]

Bull Math Biol, 2016
We propose a mathematical model for biocontrol of the invasive weed Fallopia japonica using one of its co-evolved natural enemies, the Japanese sap-sucking psyllid Aphalara itadori.

Prioritising environmental invasive weeds of European concern for classical biological control: A reanalysis

Weed Research, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 218-231, August 2023., 2023
Abstract Invasive alien plant species (IAPs) are causing significant negative impacts on agricultural production, threatened native species and ecosystems, the services they provide and public health thereby affecting European biodiversity and its economy. IAPs invade all types of natural and managed habitat and their impacts, through increased numbers

A taxonomic, cytological and genetic survey of Japanese knotweed s.l. in New Zealand indicates multiple secondary introductions from Europe and a direct introduction from Japan

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 49-66, March 2023., 2023
ABSTRACT Japanese knotweed sensu lato is a group of invasive plants, including Reynoutria japonica (var. japonica, var. compacta), R. sachalinensis, R. × bohemica, F2s and any backcrosses. Outside of its native East Asia, Japanese knotweed s.l. is an intractable weed, spreading by massive clonal reproduction, and causing significant ecological damage ...
