Proceedings of the XIII International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds.. International Symposium on Biological Control of Weeds. 536.Interpretive Summary: Our goal during this symposium has been to help colleagues reconnect, share experiences and plan
future collaborations as we examine emerging issues that affect invasive plant management across the globe.
This symposium also provided a unique opportunity to take stock of a century of biological control in the
Pacific, where our modern history of weed biocontrol began with Albert Koebele and his 1902 introductions
for lantana biological control in Hawaii. Looking into the future, the wonderful biodiversity and people of
Pacific islands face overwhelming threats, with invasive plants prominent among them. We hope an enduring
outcome of this symposium will be new connections between the international community of weed
biocontrol specialists and our islands' natural resource managers and scientists, enabling new collaborations
that will serve the Pacific region in years to come.
