Abstract

The development of the field of biological control of weeds in Australia is described, from the first attempts in 1903 to the present day. The interest sparked by the obvious success of prickly pear program, apparent from 1930 to 1935, resulted in several programs during the next 20 years, followed by a decline in activity until the 1970s when activity increased enormously following the success of the skeleton weed program and the effective use of a plant pathogen for the first time. This momentum was maintained until the beginning of the present century with several successes and was marked by several important advances in genetic profiling, host-specificity testing, economic evaluation, conflict of interest resolution and the ecology of insect/plant interactions, including evaluation of the effectiveness of individual introductions. Biological control has proved to be a valuable and effective approach to weed management in Australia with 39% of all programs considered to produce complete or near-complete control, 30.5% partial control and an average benefit–cost ratio of 23:1. Funding for research has been variable with a decline from the late 1990s but with a significant increase again since 2020.

澳大利亚杂草生物防治:最后120个 年
描述了澳大利亚杂草生物防治领域的发展,从1903年的首次尝试到今天。从1930年到1935年,刺梨项目的明显成功引发了人们的兴趣,并在接下来的20年里产生了几个项目 几年后,活性下降,直到20世纪70年代,随着骨架杂草计划的成功和植物病原体的首次有效使用,活性大幅增加。这一势头一直保持到本世纪初,并取得了几项成功,其标志是在基因图谱、宿主特异性测试、经济评估、利益冲突解决和昆虫/植物相互作用生态学方面取得了几次重要进展,包括对个体引种有效性的评估。生物控制已被证明是澳大利亚杂草管理的一种有价值和有效的方法,39%的项目被认为是完全或接近完全控制,30.5%是部分控制,平均效益成本比为23:1。自20世纪90年代末以来,研究资金一直在变化,有所下降,但自2020年以来再次大幅增加。

期刊介绍: Austral Entomology is a scientific journal of entomology for the Southern Hemisphere. It publishes Original Articles that are peer-reviewed research papers from the study of the behaviour, biology, biosystematics, conservation biology, ecology, evolution, forensic and medical entomology, molecular biology, public health, urban entomology, physiology and the use and control of insects, arachnids and myriapods. The journal also publishes Reviews on research and theory or commentaries on current areas of research, innovation or rapid development likely to be of broad interest – these may be submitted or invited. Book Reviews will also be considered provided the works are of global significance. Manuscripts from authors in the Northern Hemisphere are encouraged provided that the research has relevance to or broad readership within the Southern Hemisphere. All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least two referees expert in the field of the submitted paper. Special issues are encouraged; please contact the Chief Editor for further information.
