Biocontrol Insect Exacerbates Invasive Weed: Introduced flies create complex interactions that increase impact of invasive plants (Sep 3, 2008)
Ecological Society of America.
Biocontrol agents, such as insects, are often released outside of their native ranges to control invasive plants, such as spotted knapweed. But scientists in Montana have found that through complex community interactions among deer mice, native plants and seeds, the presence of an introduced fly may exacerbate the effects of the invasive plant it was meant to control.

Fish Pesticide May Control Unwanted Round Goby (Sep 2, 2008)
Department of the Interior.
Scientists have discovered that certain chemicals may be useful in slowing the spread of the round goby, an invasive fish species that is threatening parts of the Great Lakes and Mississippi River. When released near the bottom of a river or lake, two fish pesticides are effective in controlling this bottom-dwelling invader, particularly where dissolved oxygen is low, while leaving native species unharmed.
