Into the weeds: Matching importation history to genetic consequences and pathways in two widely used biological control agents. [PDF]
Evol Appl, 2019 Abstract The intentional introduction of exotic species through classical biological control programs provides unique opportunities to examine the consequences of population movement and ecological processes for the genetic diversity and population structure of introduced species. The weevils Neochetina bruchi and N.

Water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms-Laubach dynamics and succession in the Nyanza Gulf of Lake Victoria (east Africa): implications for water quality and biodiversity conservation. [PDF]
ScientificWorldJournal, 2012 This study, conducted in Nyanza Gulf of Lake Victoria, assessed ecological succession and dynamic status of water hyacinth. Results show that water hyacinth is the genesis of macrophyte succession. On establishment, water hyacinth mats are first invaded by native emergent macrophytes, Ipomoea aquatica Forsk., and Enydra fluctuans Lour., during early ...

Life Cycles of Neochetina bruchi Warner and Neochetina eichhorniae Hustache as Potential Biological Control Agents in the Semi Arid Zone of Nigeria [PDF]
American Journal of Life Sciences, 2015 Biological control is the use of living organism to suppress or control another living organisms, and it is cost-effective and environment-friendly. Water hyacinth Eichhornia crassipes infestations in Nigeria stifles economic uses of surface waters, and arthropods have been used as biological control agents to reduce water hyacinth infestations, with ...

Florida Entomologist, 1992 We studied Neochetina eichhorniae and N. bruchi populations at 22 sites in southern Florida during mid-summer 1985. Species composition, reproductive females (as a percentage of total females), and flight muscle development of N. eichhorniae populations varied greatly among sites. N.

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

International Journal of Ecology, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Lake Tana is Ethiopia’s largest body of fresh water, covering approximately 3,200 km2. Despite its multidisciplinary applications in Ethiopia and neighboring countries, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms) is a significant problem in this large lake. This invasive weed first appeared in Lake Tana in 2011 and quickly spread to the water’s

Chevroned Water Hyacinth weevil Neochetina bruchi Hustache (Insecta: Coleoptera: Curculionidae)
EDIS, 2021 Neochetina bruchi Hustache is commonly referred to as the chevroned water hyacinth weevil and is a weed biological control agent used to manage water hyacinth, Pontederia crassipes Mart. [formely Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms (Pellegrini et al. 2018)], in more than 30 countries (Winston et al. 2014).

Correction to: Effects of salinity and nutrients on water hyacinth and its biological control agent, Neochetina bruchi [PDF]
Hydrobiologia, 2020 Due to an unfortunate turn of events, the maiden name of the third author was displayed in the original publication and it should have read Cindy R. Kron. The original article has been corrected and the proper representation of the authors’ names and their affiliation is also listed here.

, 2022 The biodiversity of lakes is continuously declining and diverse communities are being substituted by monoculture of invasive Eichhornia crassipes, resulting in a slew of environmental cascade effects. The ability of the Neochetina bruchi to self-perpetuate is a desirable aspect of biological control since it decreases the population to a reasonable ...
