Heather, Calluna vulgaris, is a non-native plant that displaces indigenous vegetation in Tongariro National Park (TNP), New Zealand (NZ), and was targeted for biocontrol with introductions of European heather beetle, Lochmaea suturalis. Heather beetl

Mycoparasitic interactions are common in nature, form part of the microbiota of plants, and are considered significant contributors to fungus-fungus antagonism. Mycoparasites kill plant pathogens, protect the plant from abiotic and biotic stressors,

Douglas-fir seed chalcid (DFSC) Megastigmus spermotrophus, a small (3 mm long) host-specific seed-predatory wasp, was accidentally introduced into New Zealand in the 1920s. Concern over DFSC reducing Douglas-fir seed production in New Zealand led to

The New Zealand Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) is responsible for regulating the importation and development in containment and release of new organisms in New Zealand. This includes exotic biological control agents. We highlight the regula

1. Whether the release of non‐native insect species benefits or harms ecosystem services has been the subject of debate. In New Zealand, the release of new non‐native dung beetle species was intended to enhance ecosystem services but concerns wer

The bacterium, Candidatus Liberibacter europaeus (Leu) was reported in New Zealand (NZ) in 2011 in Scotch broom, Cytisus scoparius Link, and its biocontrol agent, Arytainilla spartiophila Forster (Hemiptera: Psyllidae). The aim of the study was to in

A persistent problem in weed biocontrol is how to reliably predict whether a plant that supports development in laboratory host-specificity testing will be utilized in field conditions, and this is undoubtedly preventing releases of safe and effectiv

We investigated the influence of biological control agent rearing success on weed biocontrol programs in New Zealand. Difficulties have been experienced in rearing approximately one third of all arthropod species imported into New Zealand containment
