Why is BP Invasive in FL ? Enemy Escape Hypothesis (Williams 1954) • Native Specialist Enemies Strongly Control the Abundance and/or Distribution of Native Plants • Escape from Specialist Enemies is a Key Contributor to Exotic Plant Success • Enemy Escape Benefits Exotics Because They Gain a Competitive Advantage Over Native Plants as a Result of Being Liberated from Their Pests
BP Targeted for BioControl • Non-native Invasive Species • Causes Severe Ecological Damage • Toxic and Allergenic (Poison Ivy Family) • Low Beneficial Value (Beekeepers?) • Conventional Controls Temporary, Costly • No Native Congeners in US !!!
