Why are invasive species so important?
Invasives can cause enormous damage in agriculture
(est. that 5% of global GDP is lost through invasives)
Invasives can have a detrimental impact on native fauna
and flora
(sometimes leading to the complete extinction of native species)
Invasive can bring substantial health hazards
(Heracleum mantegazzianum, Parthenium hysterophorus)

Unfair advantage

monoculture on the river Torridge

● Non-native plant species arrived in the exotic range without the natural enemies that keep them in check in their native range.
● Those native species which do attack them do not cause enough damage

The Enemy Release hypothesis
In their introduced range exotic plants should
experience
‘a decrease in regulation by herbivores and
other natural enemies, resulting in an
increase in distribution and abundance’
(Keane and Crawley, 2002)

Impatiens glandulifera in Pakistan

Gorse (Ulex europaeus) on New

Evolution of
Increased
Competitive Ability
Hypothesis
‘The success of invasive plants results from a
shift in biomass allocation patterns. In the
absence of herbivores and plant pathogens,
selection favours genotypes with improved
competitive abilities and reduced resource
allocations to natural enemy defence.’
(Blossey and Nőtzold 1995)

Augmentative control of Azolla
filiculoides with weevil
Stenopelmus rufinasus
Biological control
Three main types
Inundative- The mass production and periodic
release of large numbers of biocontrol agents to
control a pest
Conservation- modification of the environment
or existing practices to protect and enhance
specific natural enemies or other organisms to
reduce the effects of pests
Classical (CBC)- the utilisation of co-evolved
natural enemies in the regulation of host
populations; use of pathogens (fungi) & insects
to control weeds and introduced arthropods

Conflict of interest ● Classical biological control not always the
answer
● With some species there is a conflict of
interest-some like the plant- some don’t
Himalayan balsam- bee keepers like
river managers dislike
Buddleja- Gardeners like
Developers/rail network dislike
Rhododendron- Gardeners like
Land managers dislike

Berberis microphylla
Critical Issues in CBC
● Selection of suitable control agents
● Host specificity of any exotic
natural enemy critical; host range
testing
● Risk assessment for the introduction
of any potential classical biocontrol
agent
● Weighting remaining risks
● Approval for release
● Release and post release monitoring

Host specificity testing
Inside CABI’s quarantine facility in
the UK
• Selection of suitable test organism for host
range testing (phylogenetic relationship;
occurrence of closely related species in target
area)
• Experiments conducted in a series of
replicated tests with the target and non-target
species
