Ecologists have historically represented consumer–resource interactions with boxes and
arrows. A key assumption of this conceptualization is that all individuals inside a box are …

Mathematical modelling is a commonly used tool for studying the long‐term dynamics of
weed populations in agriculture. This was reflected in our review by the large number of …

The classic reference on weeds and invasive plants has been revised and updated. The
Third Edition of this authoritative reference provides an in-depth understanding of how …

Ecology Letters (2010) Abstract The Janzen‐Connell hypothesis is a leading explanation for
plant‐species diversity in tropical forests. It suggests that specialized natural enemies …

Economic impacts of invasive species worldwide are substantial. Management strategies
have been incorporated in population models to assess the effectiveness of management for …

We review key issues, available approaches and analyses to encourage and assist
practitioners to develop sound plans to evaluate the effectiveness of weed biological control …

As biological invasions continue to increase globally, eradication programs have been
undertaken at significant cost, often without consideration of relevant ecological theory …

Summary 1 General guidelines for invasive plant management are currently lacking.
Population declines may be achieved by focusing control on demographic processes …

Population control through harvest has the potential to reduce the abundance of nuisance
and invasive species. However, demographic structure and density‐dependent processes …

Most organisms live in changing environments or do not use the same resources at different
stages of their lives or in different seasons. As a result, density dependence will affect …
