Host preference and potential climatic range of Cyanotricha necyria (Lepidoptera:Dioptidae), a potential biological control agent of the weed Passiflora mollissima in Hawaiian forests

Markin, George P; Nagata, Roddy F (Cooperative National Park Resources Studies Unit, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Department of Botany, 1989-02)

Passiflora mollissima is a cultivated vine, native to the higher Andes Mountains of northern South America. Introduced to Hawaii, probably as an ornamental, the plant has escaped and become well established in mountain ...

The importation of alien insects and pathogens to control invasive alien weeds raises justifiable concern among land managers and conservationists. For the Hawaiian archipelago the dangers are particularly acute. Hawai'i ...
The prospects for biological control of nonnative plants in Hawaiian national parks

Gardner, Donald E; Davis, Clifton J (Cooperative National Park Resources Studies Unit, University of Hawaii at Manoa, Department of Botany, 1982-10)

National Park Service (NPS) policy emphasizes the preservation of processes through which native ecosystems arose, as well as the unique features of such ecosystems. Encroachment of exotic (nonnative) plants in to natural ...
