Direct and indirect effects of banker plants on population establishment of Harmonia axyridis and aphid control on pepper crop [PDF]
Banker plant systems increase biological pest control by supporting populations of natural enemies, i.e., using non-pest arthropod species as alternative prey.

Design and evaluate the performance of a mechanical system for the release of Harmonia axyridis adults [PDF]
Harmonia axyridis (H. axyridis) is the natural enemy of many aphid species. Traditional manual release of H. axyridis adults requires substantial manpower, and release efficiency is low. Automatic mechanical devices can improve the efficiency of delivery.

Current stewardship practices in invasion biology limit the value and secondary use of genomic data
Abstract Invasive species threaten native biota, putting fragile ecosystems at risk and having a large‐scale impact on primary industries. Growing trade networks and the popularity of personal travel make incursions a more frequent risk, one only compounded by global climate change.
