The rate of elongation and thickening of individual branches (shoots) varies across plant species. This variation is important for the outcome of competition and other plant–plant interactions. Here, we compared rates of shoot growth across 44 spec

Studies of insect herbivory have mostly focused on leaf-feeding even though most woody plant biomass is stem tissue. Attack to stems has the potential to be more detrimental to plant performance than attack to leaves. Here we asked how severe is the

While weed biological control success is typically achieved with one agent, multiple agents are invariably introduced. Biological control agents that share a host–plant may interact either directly or indirectly through changes in host–plant qual

BACKGROUND With growing globalization and trade, insect incursions are increasing worldwide. A proportion of incursions involve pests of major economic crops (e.g. Mediterranean fruit fly), conservation value (e.g. tramp ants) or health significance

1. We hypothesised that, for weed biological control, using species that feed as both adults and larvae would be advantageous. Here, we test the impacts of adult and larval feeding of Larinus minutus (Col.: Curculionidae), a successful biological con

Summary 1. The distribution of herbivores among plant patches may be an important factor determining plant population persistence. The resource concentration hypothesis proposes that herbivores are more abundant per unit plant at higher host plant de

The radiation biology of two geographically isolated populations of the light brown apple moth [Epiphyas postvittana (Walker)] was studied in Australia and New Zealand as an initiation of a SIT/F1 sterility program. Pharate andor = 2 d pre-emergence

The expected outcome of weed control in natural systems is that the decline of a dominant weed will result in an increase in diversity of the plant community but this has seldom been tested. Here we evaluate the response of the plant community follow

A survey was conducted to determine the distribution of dominant ants and factors that may influence their dominance in New Zealand cities. A new method of active ant trapping combining aspects of pitfall trapping and attraction to food baits was use
