Of the 70 cases of classical biological control for the protection of nature found in our review,
there were fewer projects against insect targets (21) than against invasive plants (49), in part…

COVID-19 lockdowns in early 2020 reduced human mobility, providing an opportunity to
disentangle its effects on animals from those of landscape modifications. Using GPS data, we …

Clonal plants benefit from the ability to translocate resources among interconnected ramets
to colonize heterogeneous habitats. Clonal integration affects the resource level and …

Co‐occurring carnivore species that are phylogenetically related or of similar size, morphology,
and ecological needs often reduce competition by partitioning shared resources through …

Suppression of the invasive plant Salvinia molesta by the salvinia weevil is an iconic
example of successful biological control. However, in the billabongs (oxbow lakes) of Kakadu …

When a parasitoid is searching for hosts, not all hosts are equally likely to be attacked. This
variability in attack probability may affect the parasitoid functional response. Using a …

Invasive plants can simplify plant community structure, alter ecosystem processes and undermine
the ecosystem services that we derive from biotic diversity. Two invasive plants, purple …

Predation or parasitism on species introduced as biological control agents is a common
explanation for failure of biological control programs. Although there is clear evidence from …

In this study we: (1) present a quantitative spatial analysis of the macrophyte communities in
Lake Chini with a focus on the biogeographical distributions of the native Nelumbo nucifera …

… The effect of the cages was determined through a Student’s t test. Linear regression
analysis was used to examine whether the visual estimates of damage were similar to …
