A message from Dr. David Duffy, Pacific Cooperative Studies Unit (PCSU), University of Hawaii (posted 05 November 2012): Because of a lack of funds, HEAR (www.hear.org) may close as soon as December 15, although there may be enough funds to extend it until February 15. This will mean several things. The web site will be placed on a new server although it is not clear who will pay for the server or for transitioning the site. HEAR data will not be updated. The Pacific Ecosystems at Risk (PIER) (http://www.hear.org/pier/abtproj.htm) site will also become frozen, as will numerous books, reports and papers (http://www.hear.org/). As software evolves we will likely lose the ability to access the data. The various list servers will need new owners, otherwise moderated lists will cease to function altogether, while other lists will not be able to add or delete members. The photo collection (http://www.hear.org/starr/images/?o=plants) will remain accessible, but only through a third party site that will charge for access. I should point out that we have already lost the original homes of both the Pacific Basin Information Node (PBIN) and Pacific Ecosystems at Risk (PIER) although they have found temporary refuges. Together with HEAR, they represent the corporate memory both here in Hawaii and across the Pacific of efforts to sustain our natural ecosystems and agriculture against problems caused by species alien to the islands. HEAR also serves as the glue that holds the community together, providing information and facilitating communication. I just hope hindsight is kind to this decision.

Interaction between fungal rust Puccinia psidii and Australian weevil Oxyops vitiosa, on Melaleuca quinquenervia in Florida
Rust fungus and Australian weevil, two naturalized enemies of melaleuca, compete for newly expanding foliar tissue and may antagonize each other's effects as biocontrol agents of melaleuca (Rayamajhi, M.B., T.K. Van, P.D. Pratt, and T.D. Center. 2006. Interactive association between Puccinia psidii and Oxyops vitiosa, two introduced natural enemies of Melaleuca quinquenervia in Florida.

Characteristics of the Fusicoccum anamorph of of Botryosphaeria ribis, a potential biocontrol agent for Melaleuca quinquenervia in South Florida
Eight isolates of Botryosphaeria ribis had varied morphologies, sporulation characteristics, and growth rates [note to patty: include: http://www.ars.usda.gov/SP2UserFiles/person/33749/5.%20Rayachhetry%20et%20al%201996%20Mycologia.pdf]
Histopathology of Botryosphaeria ribis in Melaleuca quinquenervia: pathogen invasion and host response
Cellular response of excised melaleuca leaves to B. ribis was studied (Rayachhetry, M.B., G.M. Blakeslee, and T. Miller. 1996. Histopathology of Botryosphaeria ribis in Melaleuca quinquenervia: pathogen invasion and host response. International Journal of Plant Sciences 157:221-229.)
Predisposition of melaleuca to invasion by the potential biological control agent Botryosphaeria ribis
Drought-stressed melaleuca are more susceptible to canker formation by Botryosphaeria ribis (Rayachhetry, M.B., G.M. Blakeslee, and T.D. Center. 1996. Predisposition of melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia) to invasion by the potential biological control agent Botryosphaeria ribis. Weed Science 44:603-608.)
Evaluation of fungus-chemical compatibility for melaleuca control
Pathogenic fungus Botryospaeria ribis can be combined with some but not all herbicides to control melaleuca (Rayachhetry, M.B. and M.L. Elliott. 1997. Evaluation of fungus-chemical compatibility for melaleuca (Melaleuca quinquenervia) control. Weed Technology 11:64-69.)
Puccinia psidii attacks melaleuca
Biocontrol of invasive melaleuca with the rust Puccinia psidii may be considered after researchers discover a natural epiphytotic in Florida (Plant Disease, 1997).

Host range of Puccinia psidii, a potential biological control agent of Melaleuca quinquenervia in Florida
The rust fungus Puccinia psidii infects the foliage and causes dieback of actively growing tips on several myrtaceous plants, including Melaleuca quinquenervia, and was evaluated as a potential biological control agent of the invasive tree in Florida (Biological Control, 2001) NOTE: Puccinia psidii would never be considered for importation as a biological control agent in Hawaii, given its reputation for broad host range within the Myrtaceae; it reached Florida in the late 1970s, but was not introduced as a biocontrol agent.
