Abstract

Convolvulus arvensis L. (Convolvulaceae), commonly known as field bindweed, is a creeping perennial plant found throughout the temperate regions of the world. We performed genetic analysis on 634 plants from 64 populations across western North America. We found 399 distinct AFLP genotypes and none...

Abstract

Lantana camara is a flowering shrub of the family Verbenaceae, native to the Americas which has become a major invasive weed in the Palaeotropics; affecting both natural and agricultural ecosystems. It has been the focus of classical biological control for over a century but has proven to be a...

Abstract

In this paper, we describe lessons learned and protocols developed after a decade of rearing Ceutorhynchus scrobicollis Nerenscheimer and Wagner (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) in a Biosafety Level 2 containment facility. We have developed these protocols in anticipation of approval to release C....

Abstract

Following preliminary host-specificity testing Septori lepidii Desm. was recently proposed as a potentially important biological control agent for invasive Lepidium species in North America. Conversely, a previous, unpublished assessment of S. lepidii for biocontrol of Lepidium latifolium found the ...

Abstract

Hydrocotyle ranunculoides is a perennial macrophyte that forms dense interwoven mats on stagnant or slow moving waters. It is native to the Americas, but has become invasive in many countries. Its rapid and thick growth can block watercourses interfering with their economic and ecological...

AbstractFull Text

Host specificity is one, if not the most critical attribute for any biological control agent to be considered for introduction into a new environment. Nevertheless, specificity is not always an absolute measure. The acceptability of any potential non-target effects will depend on a number of...

Abstract

Invasive knotweeds are large perennial herbs in the Polygonaceae in the genus Fallopia that are native to Asia and invasive in North America. They include Fallopia japonica (Japanese knotweed), F. sachalinensis (giant knotweed), and a hybrid species F. × bohemica (Bohemian knotweed). Widespread...
