New paper – summary of biological control in Hawaii 

We are excited to announce that our HISC support staff colleague, Leyla Kaufman, is a co-author on a new paper that summarizes insect and weed biological control in Hawaii. The paper highlights recent successes in the state, discusses the perceptions of biocontrol, and emphasizes the importance of a multi-agency biocontrol research facility.

The paper, entitled “Insect and Weed Biological Control in Hawaii: Recent Case Studies and Trends,” is available for access until May 3, 2023.
