Inhaltsangabe

An overview of all documented releases of exotic invertebrate biological control agents (IBCAs) into Europe, the book summarizes key information on 176 IBCAs released against 58 target pests, and includes a summary chapter on releases in Europe over the past 110 years. The information is largely based on the BIOCAT database, originally developed by the late D.J. Greathead (former director of the International Institute of Biological Control, now part of CABI) and updated by CABI scientists.

Über die Autorinnen und Autoren

Esther Gerber is with Longo Mai, Switzerland.

Urs Schaffner is Head of the 'Ecosystems Management' section at the CABI Switzerland Centre and affiliate assistant professor at the University of Idaho, USA. His research focuses on soil-plant-herbivore interactions, with particular emphasis on biological invasions, biological control of weeds and grassland restoration. He has 30 years of experience in weed biological control and has worked on aspects such as the ecology and evolutionary ecology of host-specificity of weed biological control agents, pre-release impact assessment, demographic modelling of biological control agents and post-release impact evaluation. He is the coordinator of the 'Woody Weeds' project, a multi-partner project on assessing the environmental and socio-economic effects of invasive trees in Eastern Africa and implementing integrated management strategies, including biological control, that mitigate their negative impacts. Urs participated in more than 10 research projects, (co)authored more than 100 articles, book chapters and other publications, and presented his work in more than 50 scientific meetings, being invited as a keynote speaker, and for workshops, training courses, etc. all over the world.
