Climate variability may enhance the establishment of pests into areas which had been previously unfavourable for survival and establishment because of unsuitable climatic conditions. Within the wider Caribbean geographic area, there have been several introductions of invasive pest species over the...

Dieback in invasive and agricultural plants is a common phenomenon attributed to a range of abiotic and biotic factors. In this project we are investigating the link between the introduction and establishment of a non-native plant to a new range and the subsequent dying-back of the invasive...

In Slovenia, pines (Pinus spp.) are frequently damaged by numerous autochthonous diseases and pests, but introductions of alien harmful organisms represent even higher dangers for pine trees. Estimated loss as a consequence of these introductions will be a sum of direct losses connected to the...

Long-term monitoring of biological control agents in their areas of introduction is essential to assess their effectiveness. There is a need to monitor and evaluate agent dispersal and impacts so that the degree of success can be quantified or reasons for failure can be clearly understood. A fungal ...
