Our hypotheses were that: (1) total phytoplankton and cyanobacteria abundance would be higher in heated mesocosms; (2) the stimulatory effects of warming on cyanobacterial abundance would be enhanced in higher nutrient mesocosms, resulting in a synergistic interaction; (3) the recovery of biomass from flushing induced losses would be quicker in heated and nutrient enriched treatments, and during the growing season.

Inspired by an existing model and controlled experiments, we conceptually describe a dynamic that we have observed in the field using a simple model, the aim of which was to investigate key interactions of the shift between invasive floating and invasive submerged plant dominance, driven by the rapid decomposition of floating plants as a consequence of herbivory by biological control agents.

The first releases of the salvinia weevil as a biological control agent were at Lake Moondarra, Mt Isa, Qld in June 1980. The biological control programme against S. molesta by the weevil Cyrtobagous salviniae Calder and Sands (Erirhinidae) has been successful in controlling S. molesta infestations in the introduced range, however, there is some debate as to how biological control success is measured.

While this study highlights the clear need to mitigate against global warming, over‐simplification of global change effects on cyanobacteria should be avoided; stressor gradients and seasonal effects should be considered as important factors shaping the response. The presence of an infestation will afect most native plants, ish, birds or animals that use the infested water body. We conclude that the biological control effort by C. salviniae facilitated biodiversity recovery of the impacted treatment. This study proposes that biological control of floating invasive macrophytes acts as a catalyst in a regime shift between floating and submerged invasive plant dominance. Plants in the shade sustained less damage, possibly due to the high insoluble nitrogen concentrations, which may have deterred herbivory by C. salviniae. Despite the long history of invasion by macrophytes, only a few studies focus on their impacts on biodiversity, while the ecological benefits of biological control programmes against these species have been poorly quantified. Biotic homogenization is the increased similarity of biota as a result of introductions of non-native species. ; Getsinger, K.D. Biological control using the weevil Cyrtobagous salviniae Calder & Sands has been an effective control method globally, although some infestations persist, in particular in shaded waterbodies.

Last winter’s severe cold drastically reduced giant salvinia in Louisiana waterways. It is an extremely important invasive species and its biological control is an extraordinary, contemporary, success story. and invasion phases showed three distinct clusters, where each cluster represented tr, impacted, and restored) and invasion phase (before, during, and after invasion). Whiskers represent maximum and minimum, icant differences. Subsequently, the maximum agent population density was only reached at the end of the following summer growing season which allowed the water hyacinth population to recover in the absence of any significant biological control immediately post-winter. Observations of site-specific characteristics suggest that biological control is most effective at small sites and more difficult at larger and shaded sites. She found the native range of S. molesta was within the l… The implications of this are essential for understanding the multiple roles invasive plants and their control have upon ecosystem dynamics.

Room PM, Gunatilaka GA, Shivanathan P, Fernando IVS, 1990. This study showed that the rate of switch between floating and submerged invasive plant dominance, and the point in time at which the switch occurs, is dependent on the nutrient status of the water and the density of biological control agents on floating plant populations.
