TL;DR: Ecosystem service protection was provided in the fewest cases by either insect or plant biological control agents, but was more likely to be provided by projects directed against invasive plants, likely because of the strong effects plants exert on landscapes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of Australian classical biological control of weeds programs and research activities over the past 12 years
TL;DR: Effective biological control was achieved in several projects with the outstanding successes being the control of rubber vine, Cryptostegia grandiflora and bridal creeper, Asparagus asparagoides.

Journal ArticleDOI
Assessing the biological control potential of an adventitiously-established "pest", Scirtothrips aurantii (Faure), on a weed, Bryophyllum delagoense (Eckl. & Zeyh.), in Queensland
TL;DR: South African citrus thrips (Scirtothrips aurantii) established adventitiously in Australia and may be sensitive to seasonal climatic fluctuations, which may limit the biological control potential of the insect.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article , the rootstock diversity of full-sibling UCB-1 F1 seedling rootstocks is investigated in commercial pistachio orchards that are generated by crossing two highly heterozygous outbreeding parental trees of Pistacia atlantica (female) and P. integerrima (male).
