Immature stages of the uniquely phytophagous staphylinid, Himalusa thailandensis Pace, Klimaszewski, and Center, 2010 (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Aleocharinae) are described. Adults chew or scrape leaf surfaces while larvae bore into leaf petioles wh

The delphacid Megamelus scutellaris Berg was evaluated for host specificity and potential impact as part of a biological control program targeting Eichhornia. crassipes. Survival and development of adults and nymphs were used as metrics with no-choic

An underlying assumption of weed biological control asserts that laboratory-based host specificity testing accurately predicts the realized host range of herbivorous arthropods. We tested this assumption by comparing predicted host specificity with t

Invasion by the Australian paperbark, Melaleuca quinquenervia, has degraded large areas of south Florida wetlands. Restoration of these wetlands requires the removal of expansive monocultures of this large tree while simultaneously curtailing its spr

The Neotropical rust fungus Puccinia psidii and the Australian weevil Oxyops vitiosa are introduced natural enemies of Melaleuca quinquenervia (melaleuca) in south Florida. Both organisms exploit expanding leaves so we sought to investigate the inter

The rust fungus Puccinia psidii infects the foliage and causes dieback of actively growing tips on several myrtaceous plants in South and Central America. It has recently been discovered in south Florida causing a similar disease on Melaleuca quinque

A series of studies evaluating the impact, dynamics, and distribution of the established biological control agent Hydrellia pakistanae (Diptera: Ephydridae) on Hydrilla verticillata (Hydrocharitaceae) was conducted. The studies included establishment

Allometric equations were derived and dry weight distribution was determined for aboveground components (total wood, trunk, branch, leaf, seed capsule, seed) of Melaleuca quinquenervia trees in south Florida. Aboveground tree components of 42, 46, an

Quarantine colonies of the melaleuca snout beetle Oxyops vitiosa, the first melaleuca-feeding insect released in Florida, consisted of individuals collected from the Burpengary region (near Brisbane) of Queensland and their descendants. Constraints o

Two experiments (winter and summer) were conducted in outdoor tanks using addition-series methods to evaluate the impact of specialized feeding by two biological control agents,Hydrellia pakistanaeDeonier andBagous hydrillaeO'Brien, on competitive in
