Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Melaleuca quinquenervia (Cav.) Blake, common names melaleuca, cajeput, or punk tree, is native to the Australian region. Trees were first planted in Southern Florida early in the 20th century. Starting in the late 1940s, melaleuca was planted by U.S. Army Engineer personnel at Lake Okeechobee, Florida, to serve as wind barriers and to provide protection for the levees surrounding the lake. The trees have now spread to wetland habitats and were found by a 1979 survey to grow along 88.5 km (53.1 miles) of the 175km (105 miles) of levee road and to cover approximately 96.8 ha (242 acres) in these perimeter stands (Stocker l982a). Additionally, Stocker found that 'in the lake proper, melaleuca is found in approximately 420 ha (1,050 acres), where it offers as isolated individuals and as dense colonies (heads) up to 0.6 ha (1.5 acres) in size.' This distribution of trees was approximately 0.3 percent of the lake acreage.

Book Synopsis Integrating Biological Control into Conservation Practice by : Roy van Driesche
Download or read book Integrating Biological Control into Conservation Practice written by Roy van Driesche. This book was released on 2016-05-17. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Invasive species have a critical and growing effect upon natural areas. They can modify, degrade, or destroy wildland ecosystem structure and function, and reduce native biodiversity. Landscape-level solutions are needed to address these problems. Conservation biologists seek to limit such damage and restore ecosystems using a variety of approaches. One such approach is biological control: the deliberate importation and establishment of specialized natural enemies, which can address invasive species problems and which should be considered as a possible component of restoration. Biological control can be an effective tool against many invasive insects and plants but it has rarely been successfully employed against other groups. Safety is of paramount concern and requires that the natural enemies used be specialized and that targeted pests be drivers of ecological degradation. While modern approaches allow species to be selected with a high level of security, some risks do remain. However, as in all species introductions, these should be viewed in the context of the risk of failing to reduce the impact of the invasive species. This unique book identifies the balance among these factors to show how biological control can be integrated into ecosystem restoration as practiced by conservation biologists. Jointly developed by conservation biologists and biological control scientists, it contains chapters on matching tools to management goals; tools in action; measuring and evaluating ecological outcomes of biological control introductions; managing conflict over biological control; and includes case studies as well as an ethical framework for integrating biological control and conservation practice. Integrating Biological Control into Conservation Practice is suitable for graduate courses in invasive species management and biological control, as well as for research scientists in government and non-profit conservation organizations.
