Arthropod generalist predators (AGP) are widespread and abundant in both aquatic and
terrestrial ecosystems. They feed upon herbivores, detritivores, and predators, and also on …

Insects provide crucial ecosystem services for human food security and maintenance of
biodiversity. It is therefore not surprising that major declines in wild insects, combined with …

There has been considerable debate on risks associated with biological control, and partly
resulting from this, research has addressed a number of questions which have subsequently …

Biocontrol solutions (macroorganisms, microorganisms, natural substances,
semiochemicals) are presented as potential alternatives to conventional plant protection …

The unsustainable use of wildlife is a primary driver of global biodiversity loss. No
comprehensive global dataset exists on what species are in trade, their geographic origins …

Endangerment factors are reviewed for 57 US federally listed insects and 116 rare eastern
North American lepidopterans to determine the importance of invasive species relative to 15 …

Although the enemy release hypothesis forms the theoretical basis for classical (=
importation) biological control of invasive pests, its core assumptions are not always …

As classical biological control agents, egg parasitoids exhibit a greater rate of establishment
than other parasitoid guilds, but have not been as effective in suppressing the abundance of …

Unintentional introduction of natural enemies has increased in recent years due to a
massive rise in global trade and tourism. One such natural enemy is the Asian egg …
