CRISPR-based diagnostics detects invasive insect pests
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2023 Abstract Rapid identification of organisms is essential across many biological and medical disciplines, from understanding basic ecosystem processes and how organisms respond to environmental change, to disease diagnosis and detection of invasive pests.

A rapid method to monitor parasitoid infestations in Drosophila suzukii populations
Journal für Kulturpflanzen, 2023 Parasitoid wasps are efficient natural enemies of other insects. They are in focus as an important biological pest management element to control invasive pest species.

Thermal aerial culling for the control of vertebrate pest populations
Scientific Reports, 2023 Helicopter-based shooting is an effective management tool for large vertebrate pest animals. However, animals in low-density populations and/or dense habitat can be difficult to locate visually. Thermal-imaging technology can increase detections in these

Tree diversity regulates forest pest invasion [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 Nonnative pests often cause cascading ecological impacts, leading to detrimental socioeconomic consequences; however, how plant diversity may influence insect and disease invasions remains unclear. High species diversity in host communities may promote pest invasions by providing more niches (i.e., facilitation), but it can also diminish invasion ...

Early detection of pine wilt disease tree candidates using time-series of spectral signatures
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Pine wilt disease (PWD), caused by pine wood nematode (PWN), poses a tremendous threat to global pine forests because it can result in rapid and widespread infestations within months, leading to large-scale tree mortality.

Invasive insect hybridizes with local pests [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2018 “Be afraid, be very afraid!” Kate Jones warned me over coffee in London. She is an expert on global emergent diseases. Her work showed that new diseases are on the increase and that they usually originate from contact with wild animals as our species occupies and further exploits natural areas on the planet (1).

Invasive Insects (Adventive Pest Insects) in Florida
EDIS, 2004 The term 'invasive species' is defined as 'non-native species which threaten ecosystems, habitats, or species' by the European Environment Agency (2004). It is widely used by the news media and it has become a bureaucratese expression.
