A recent trend in invasion ecology relates the success of non‐indigenous species (NIS) to
reduced control by enemies such as pathogens, parasites and predators (ie the enemy …

The tomato leafminer Tuta absoluta (Meyrick)(Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae) is a devastating

Current approaches to conservation may be inadequate to maintain ecosystem integrity
because they are mostly based on rarity status of organisms rather than functional …

When introduced to new habitats by humans, some plant species become much more
dominant. This is primarily attributed to escape from specialist consumers. Release from …

Although the predatory and competitive impacts of biological invasions are well
documented, facilitation of native species by non-indigenous species is frequently …

Evidence is increasing that invasive plants can undergo rapid adaptive evolution during the
process of range expansion. Here, we argue that evolutionary change during invasions will …

This review summarizes all known direct nontarget attack (NTA) cases of intentionally
released or actively redistributed weed biological control agents, in order to allow for an …

Indirect effects involve more than two species and are defined as how one species alters the
effect that another species has on a third. These complex interactions are often overlooked …

The availability of new genetic technologies has positioned the field of biological control as
