Prevention or Control: Optimal Government Policies for Invasive Species Management [PDF]

We present a conceptual, but empirically applicable, model for determining the optimal allocation of resources between exclusion and control activities for managing an invasive species with an uncertain discovery time.

Agent-Based Modeling of Human-Induced Spread of Invasive Species in Agricultural Landscapes: Insights from the Potato Moth in Ecuador [PDF]

Agent-based models (ABM) are ideal tools to deal with the complexity of pest invasion throughout agricultural socio-ecological systems, yet very few studies have applied them in such context.

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control
Background Invasive species are alien ones that are not a significant pest in their origin under the pressure of natural enemies; however, they cause economic damages by increasing their population in the introduced region.

Tree Diversity Limits the Impact of an Invasive Forest Pest

PLOS ONE, 2015
The impact of invasive herbivore species may be lower in more diverse plant communities due to mechanisms of associational resistance. According to the "resource concentration hypothesis" the amount and accessibility of host plants is reduced in diverse plant communities, thus limiting the exploitation of resources by consumers.

Pest risk analysis for Bactrocera invadens : Guidelines on Pest Risk Analysis [PDF]

, 2010
Stripping related moisture damage has been recognized as one of the major pavement distresses since the early 1990s. The main objective of this study is to establish an effective test protocol to quantify moisture susceptibility of asphalt pavements.

Valuing the benefits from preserving threatened native fauna and flora from invasive animal pests [PDF]

Invasive animal pests inflict many kinds of damage on the environment, and threaten native fauna and flora. We attempt to value the benefits from the extra biodiversity that is protected if these threats were removed. The NSW Rural Lands Protection Board
