Predictable risk to native plants in biological control of weeds in Hawaii
This analysis examines the use of non-target native plants in Hawaii resulting from biological control projects on target weeds with close relatives compared with projects on target weeds that lack close relatives. Target weeds with close relatives are riskier targets for biological control than are weeds without close relatives in Hawaii. The two projects conducted against weeds with close relatives resulted in non-target use of native species; four of the five insect species established in these projects now use native plant species as hosts.
