Bang for buck: cost-effective control of invasive species with different life histories
Strategies for controlling invasive species can be aimed at any or all of the stages in the life cycle. In this paper, we show how to combine biological data on population dynamics with simple economic data on control costs options to determine the least costly set of strategies that will prevent an established invader from continuing to increase. Based on biological data alone (elasticities of...
متن کاملEvolution of dispersal and life history interact to drive accelerating spread of an invasive species.
Populations on the edge of an expanding range are subject to unique evolutionary pressures acting on their life-history and dispersal traits. Empirical evidence and theory suggest that traits there can evolve rapidly enough to interact with ecological dynamics, potentially giving rise to accelerating spread. Nevertheless, which of several evolutionary mechanisms drive this interaction between e...
متن کاملLife History of the Invasive Species Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) in Northeastern United States
Host plant use by nymphs and adults of the nonnative speciesHalyomorpha halys (Stål) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) was investigated proximal to the location of its introduction, Allentown, PA. The seasonality ofH. halys in the United States had not been thoroughly studied before this work. It is reported to have 300 host plants in its native range that could make control and identiÞcation of small ...
متن کاملNutrition shapes life-history evolution across species.
Nutrition is a key component of life-history theory, yet we know little about how diet quality shapes life-history evolution across species. Here, we test whether quantitative measures of nutrition are linked to life-history evolution across 96 species of butterflies representing over 50 independent diet shifts. We find that butterflies feeding on high nitrogen host plants as larvae are more fe...
متن کاملLife-History Traits of Macrolophus pygmaeus with Different Prey Foods
Macrolophus pygmaeus Rambur (Hemiptera: Miridae) is a generalist predatory mirid widely used in augmentative biological control of various insect pests in greenhouse tomato production in Europe, including the invasive tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera, Gelechiidae). However, its biocontrol efficacy often relies on the presence of alternative prey. The present study aimed at...
