SPEDE-sampler: An R Shiny application to assess how methodological choices and taxon sampling can affect Generalized Mixed Yule Coalescent output and interpretation. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour, 2022
Abstract Species delimitation tools are vital to taxonomy and the discovery of new species. These tools can make use of genetic data to estimate species boundaries, where one of the most widely used methods is the Generalized Mixed Yule Coalescent (GMYC) model.

Multi-Species Impacts of Invasive Opuntia Cacti on Mammal Habitat Use. [PDF]

Ecol Lett
Biological invasions impact ecosystems worldwide, including through changing the behaviour of native species. Here, we used camera traps to investigate the effects of invasive Opuntia spp. on the habitat use of 12 mammal species in an internationally important region of mammalian biodiversity.

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

Biological control of weeds in Australia: the last 120 years

Austral Entomology, Volume 62, Issue 2, Page 133-148, May 2023., 2023
Abstract The development of the field of biological control of weeds in Australia is described, from the first attempts in 1903 to the present day. The interest sparked by the obvious success of prickly pear program, apparent from 1930 to 1935, resulted in several programs during the next 20 years, followed by a decline in activity until the 1970s when
