Conceptual model about specialist, introduced insects - SMALL
Detailed Description
A conceptual diagram of the drivers that may determine the impact of a specialist insect pest. We posit that the relationship between evolutionarily naïve host plants and invasive insect species is the strongest driver of a high-impact invasion. The diagram, modified from the synthetic invasion meta-framework described by Gurevitch et al. (2011), is guiding our USGS Powell working group’s data compilation and synthesis.
