Babendreier, Dirk

2011
The use of exotic (=alien) arthropods in classical and augmentative biological control programs has yielded huge economic and ecological benefits. Exotic species of arthropods have contributed to the suppression of key pests in agriculture and forest
How Safe Is Weed Biological Control? A Global Review of Direct Nontarget Attack

Schwarzländer, M

2019
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 objective risk-benefit analysis when choosing the most appropriate met
What Magnitude Are Observed Non-Target Impacts from Weed Biocontrol?

Sforza, René François Henri

2014
A systematic review focused by plant on non-target impacts from agents deliberately introduced for the biological control of weeds found significant non-target impacts to be rare. The magnitude of direct impact of 43 biocontrol agents on 140 non-targ

2014
Biological control is a fascinating discipline where experimental projects are conducted at ecoregional scales. Biological control using natural enemies and native organisms is an important tool in the land manager’s arsenal of weed control techni
Relative performance on test and target plants in laboratory tests predicts the risk of non-target attack in the field for arthropod weed biocontrol agents.

Winks, C.J

2015
We tested the hypothesis that quantifying the relative performance of candidate weed biocontrol agents on test and target plants during laboratory host-range testing can predict the probability of test plants being attacked in the field. For arthropo
Translating host-specifcity test results into the real world: The need to harmonize the yin and yang of current testing procedures

Briese, D.T

2005
In its modern era, the discipline of biological control can be perceived as being subject to a series of tensions due to differences in philosophy, different needs, and different practices; these include the view that biological control is environmen

Chromolaena odorata (L.) King and Robinson (Asteraceae) is a major weed in Timor Leste, affecting grazing lands and subsistence farms, reducing productivity and food security. It was the focus of a biocontrol project funded by the Australian Governme

1997
Weed problems in the Asia-Pacific region are becoming increasingly difficult to manage. Most countries in the region are not only faced with a higher risk of exotic weed introduction, the result of a major increase in travel and trade, but are also a
Is host‐specificity of weed biological control agents likely to evolve rapidly following establishment?

Van Klinken, Rieks.Dekker

,

Edwards, Owain .Rhys

2002
Over 352 herbivore species have now been intentionally introduced into new regions as weed biological control agents. Recent evidence shows that rapid and significant evolution in host-specificity can occur. The risk of non-target use by biological c

2000
Many clades of herbivorous insects are remarkably conservative in the plants that they attack, and in many groups, related insects tend to feed on related plants. However, rapid evolution of host range has been documented in several species. Manage
