Invasive Africanized honeybees change the structure of native pollination networks in BrazilBiological Invasions - Tập 14 - Trang 2369-2378 - 2012

The Africanized honeybee Apis mellifera (AHB) is an invasive species spread over all Brazilian biomes, which has negative impacts on native bee populations, but whose impacts on native plants are still controversial. In order to understand how its impacts extend to the pollination service at the community level, we studied the AHB and its interactions in a multi-species context using network theor...... hiện toàn bộ
Vulnerability of non-native invasive plants to novel pathogen attack: do plant traits matter?Biological Invasions - Tập 24 - Trang 3349-3379 - 2022
Catherine Fahey, Akihiro Koyama, Pedro M. Antunes
Exotic invasive plants are considered major threats to biodiversity globally; however, our understanding of the long-term dynamics of invasion remains limited. Over time, invasive plants can accumulate novel pathogens that may be capable of causing population declines because invaders have a greater chance of encountering such pathogens as they spread, and native pathogens can adapt to use invasiv...... hiện toàn bộ
Invasions on Large and Small Scales: Management of a Well-established Crop Pest, the Colorado Potato BeetleBiological Invasions - Tập 3 - Trang 295-306 - 2001
Mitchell B. Baker, David N. Ferro, Adam H. Porter
Understanding the movement of invading organisms is critical to predicting invasion dynamics. The Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), is an invasive species on multiple spatial and temporal scales, and can serve as a model for studies of invasion dynamics. It is the major insect defoliator of potato in North America, and successful management requires an understanding of CPB i...... hiện toàn bộ
Differential effects of reproductive interference by an alien congener on native Taraxacum speciesBiological Invasions - Tập 14 - Trang 439-447 - 2011
Sachiko Nishida, Koh-Ichi Takakura, Takayoshi Nishida, Takashi Matsumoto, Masahiro M. Kanaoka
Reproductive interference (RI) has been suggested to play a critical role in native plant displacement by alien congeners. However, although co-existence of native and alien congeners may provide an opportunity to refute the RI hypothesis, few studies have examined such a case. Using a native Japanese dandelion, Taraxacum longeappendiculatum, and a co-existing alien congener, Taraxacum officinale,...... hiện toàn bộ
Classical biological control of insect pests of trees: facts and figuresBiological Invasions - Tập 19 Số 11 - Trang 3401-3417 - 2017
Kenis, Marc, Hurley, Brett P., Hajek, Ann E., Cock, Matthew J. W.
Classical biological control (CBC) is the introduction of a natural enemy of exotic origin to control a pest, usually also exotic, aiming at permanent control of the pest. CBC has been carried out widely over a variety of target organisms, but most commonly against insects, using parasitoids and predators and, occasionally, pathogens. Until 2010, 6158 introductions of parasitoids and predators wer...... hiện toàn bộ
