Infectious diseases in oyster aquaculture require a new integrated approach.

TL;DR: The case for an integrated approach to study the management of bivalve disease, using OsHV-1 as a case study is explored, finding that reconsidering the key issues by incorporating multidisciplinary science could provide a holistic understanding of OsHv-1 and increase the benefit of research to policymakers.

Exotic plant invasions and the enemy release hypothesis

TL;DR: Competitive release through greater generalist enemy impact on natives seems to be an important but understudied mechanism of enemy release, but there is a serious need for experiments involving exclusion of natural enemies in invaded plant communities.

Progress in invasion biology: predicting invaders

TL;DR: Although restricted to few taxa, these studies reveal clear relationships between the characteristics of releases and the species involved, and the successful establishment and spread of invaders.
