The Pacific Invasive Ant Key.

The Pacific Invasive Ant Toolkit is a collection of resources to help prevent and control invasive ants in the Pacific.

The Carambola fruit fly is one of the world’s most economically damaging pests of fruit crops. The species is native to Malaysia, Thailand and the west of Indonesia, but has now spread across most of south-east Asia, including Vietnam. It is also now very widespread in Brazil and some neighbouring countries after being introduced to that region in the 1980s. It has not been found in Papua New Guinea. The highest risk of it being introduced to Australia is through illegally imported fruit or through natural dispersal pathways (wind).

The Diagnostician's Cookbook is meant to help share information on techniques used in the diagnosis of plant diseases and disorders.

The USA National Plant Diagnostic Network (NPDN) First Detector program promotes the early detection of invasive, exotic plant pathogens, arthropods, nematodes, and weeds. Implementation of the NPDN program occurs primarily through partnering Land Grant University (LGU) members.

The Australasian Mycological Society aims to promote research and teaching in all areas of fungal biology, to raise the profile of mycology in the Australasian region, to promote the conservation of Australasian fungi and to facilitate networking and collaboration among mycologists.

This key enables the user to identify to species level the adult male and female Christmas Beetles (genus Anoplognathus) occurring in New South Wales. Anoplognathus is a genus of the Rutelinae, a subfamily of the family Scarabaeidae, which includes Dung Beetles, Flower Chafers, Rhinoceros Beetles and Christmas Beetles.

The Lucid Key aims to assist diagnosticians and biosecurity related scientists in the front line identification of phytophagous (plant feeding) Scarab beetles from the subfamilies Cetoniinae, Dynastinae, Melolonthinae and Rutelinae. It encompasses a range of exotic pest species, some of which are highly invasive to new regions. The key also includes a number of commonly encountered native and introduced species in Australia.
