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

Wild herbivores enhance resistance to invasion by exotic cacti in an African savanna

Journal of Ecology, Volume 111, Issue 1, Page 33-44, January 2023., 2023
Our experimental and observational findings that wild herbivores confer resistance to invasion by exotic cacti add to evidence that conserving and restoring native herbivore assemblages (particularly megaherbivores) can increase community resistance to plant invasions. Photo credit: Gustavo Lozada (same for potential cover image). Abstract Whether wild
