Wetlands seem to be especially vulnerable to invasions. Even though≤ 6% of the earth's
land mass is wetland, 24%(8 of 33) of the world's most invasive plants are wetland species …

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 …

The spread of invasive taxa, including Lythrum salicaria, Typha× glauca, Myriophyllum
spicatum, Phalaris arundinacea, and Phragmites australis, has dramatically changed the …

▪ Abstract Investigations of plant-herbivore interactions continue to be popular; however, a
bias neglecting root feeders may limit our ability to understand how herbivores shape plant …

Upon its initial publication more than fifteen years ago, this book broke new ground with its
comprehensive coverage of the biology and ecology, distribution and dispersal …

The invasion of non-indigenous plants is considered a primary threat to integrity and
function of ecosystems. However, there is little quantitative or experimental evidence for …

In this paper, we describe five successful classical biological weed control agents released
in the United States. For each of the five arthropod species, we compared data from …

Blossey and Nötzold (1995) recently hypothesised that the increased vigour of certain
invasive plant species has been at the expense of defences against natural enemies. A …

Host specificity testing is universally used in weed biological control to predict nontarget
effects of potential agents. Despite this, there is some confusion regarding the role of host …

Biological control (biocontrol) has successfully regulated pest populations in terrestrial
agroecosystems, but it has also caused negative unintended consequences for native …
