Impact of the defoliator Cleopus japonicus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Buddleja davidii in the laboratory
TLDR
The results suggest that, following permission to release and successful establishment, C. japonicus hould successfully suppress buddleia growth.

Improved techniques for the laboratory rearing of Thanasimus formicarius.
TLDR
An improved rearing method for Thanasimus formicarius L. (Col: Cleridae) involved transferring larvae hatched from eggs laid in vitro into bark-beetleinfested billets, which greatly improved the efficiency of the rearing programme.
Introduction into New Zealand of Bracon phylacteophagus, a biocontrol agent of Phylacteophaga froggatti, eucalyptus leaf-mining sawfly.
Spread of Bracon phylacteophagus, a biocontrol agent of Phylacteophaga froggatti, and impact on host.
TLDR
Bracon phylacteophagus Austin (Hym:Braconidae) was first established in New Zealand in 1988 as a biocontrol agent for the introduced Eucalyptus leaf-mining sawflies, but by June 1991 the parasitoid had spread throughout much of the sawfly-infested area, and in most areas where the paras itoid had been established for more than 1 year the saw fly population collapsed.
A second species of Iridomyrmex Mayr established in New Zealand
Offspring sex ratios of Bracon phylacteophagus as influenced by host size and maternal age.
TLDR
Evidence suggests that selective oviposition was the main factor influencing this relationship and females produced a higher ratio of male offspring later in life than they did earlier in life from large hosts.
The potential of Mecysolobus erro (Curculionidae) as a biological control agent for Buddleia
TLDR
Evaluating within Invertebrate Quarantine the potential of Mecysolobus erro (Pascoe) to control buddleia, and its suitability for release in New Zealand, and investigating the host specificity of the weevil in relation to adult oviposition and feeding behaviour.
