Six species of overseas insects have been approved for release as biological control agents of yellow starthistle, California's most pervasive weed. Previously, four biocontrol insects were known to be established in California; we now confirm the

Delairea odorata Lemaire (Cape ivy) (Asteraceae) has become naturalized and invasive in many countries including the United States of America where biological control is being considered as a long-term solution to managing this invasive vine. Extensi

Invasive exotic plants are often weeds in more than one country. After a biological control agent for a weed has been developed for use in one country, it is reasonable to consider using the same agent against the same weed in another country. ‘Tra

Due to the long-standing emphasis on only releasing host-specific agents, classical biological control of weeds has an enviable track record of few direct impacts to nontargets. However, even an agent whose host-range is restricted solely to the targ

Yellow starthistle is an annual that is dependent on achene production, dispersal, and germination for stand renewal. Our purpose in this study was to determine the temperature relations for germination of achenes of this species. Germination tempera

Yellow starthistle, Centaurea solstitialis (Asteraceae), is an important invasive alien weed in the western United States. Currently established biological control agents attack only the capitula (flowerheads), and are not effectively controlling the

Purple starthistle is one of the numerous species of Centaurea that have been accidentally introduced to western North America where most have become pernicious noxious weeds. Purple starthistle is not nearly as widely distributed as its close relati
