متن کاملBiological pest control in Mexico.
Mexico is a megadiverse country that forms part of the Mesoamerican biological corridor that connects North and South America. Mexico's biogeographical situation places it at risk from invasive exotic insect pests that enter from the United States, Central America, or the Caribbean. In this review we analyze the factors that contributed to some highly successful past programs involving classica...
متن کاملIntegrating drivers influencing the detection of plant pests carried in the international cut flower trade.
This paper analyses the cut flower market as an example of an invasion pathway along which species of non-indigenous plant pests can travel to reach new areas. The paper examines the probability of pest detection by assessing information on pest detection and detection effort associated with the import of cut flowers. We test the link between the probability of plant pest arrivals, as a precurs...
متن کاملA decision tree for evaluation of exotic plant pathogens for classical biological control of introduced invasive weeds
Plant pathogens for biological control of weeds must satisfy criteria for eYcacy, safety, and deployment before they are actually included in the list of candidates for weed management strategies. Decisions are made throughout the development of each candidate agent concerning whether or not further research is justiWed. These decisions concern pathogen attributes such as collection information...
متن کاملUsing Expert Knowledge to Satisfy Data Needs:Mapping Invasive Plant Distributions in the Western United States
—Lack of knowledge about the distributions of plant and animal species can severely hamper management efforts. For invasive plants, distribution and abundance data can inform early detection and rapid response (EDRR) programs aimed at treating initial infestations. These data can be used to create invasion risk models at landscape and regional scales. Further, regional maps of invasive plant ab...
