Genomic investigations of successful invasions: the picture emerging from recent studies

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Invasion biology aims to identify traits and mechanisms that contribute to successful invasions, while also providing general insights into the mechanisms underlying population expansion and adaptation to rapid climate and habitat changes. Certain phenotypic attributes have been linked to successful invasions, and the role of genetics has been

Unexpected soundscape response to insecticide application in oak forests

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rachel Carson's warning of a silent spring directed attention to unwanted side effects of pesticide application. Though her work led to policies restricting insecticide use, various insecticides currently in use affect nontarget organisms and may contribute to population declines.

Examining park users' support for emerald ash borer (Agrilus planipennis) control in urban parks

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
In 2023, we surveyed 174 urban park users in northeastern Georgia, United States, to identify determinants of their support for emerald ash borer (EAB) control using parasitoid wasps (biological control) and systemic insecticides (chemical control).

Cross‐continental variation of herbivore resistance in a global plant invader

Ecography, EarlyView.
While successful plant invasions often occur in novel environments, invasive species usually occupy broad niches within their native and introduced ranges. A better understanding of the process of invasion therefore requires a wide sampling of ranges, and a good knowledge of introduction history.

What is the potential for artificial selection of insect biological control traits? A systematic review of their genetic variation, heritability, and evolvability

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Growing interest in optimizing biocontrol traits, particularly due to Nagoya Protocol constraints, necessitates understanding their heritability and genetic variation. This systematic review of 5209 studies on arthropod biocontrol agents yielded 94 relevant articles, with 42 providing heritability values.
