In the present study changes in ecosystems of the Black Sea, Caspian Sea and Baltic Sea after the invasion of ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi were investigated. Excessive increase in plant plankton as a result of antrophogenic eutrophication leads to a shift in mesozooplankton com-position, which is...

Invasive alien weeds are a major constraint in agriculture, forestry and the environment in India. Classical biological control (CBC) of these exotic weeds through deliberate introduction of arthropods is almost a century-old practice. History has recently been made with the successful introduction ...
