About Iain Paterson

Iain Paterson, With an exceptional h-index of 19 and a recent h-index of 19 (since 2020), a distinguished researcher at Rhodes University, specializes in the field of Biological control of weeds.

His recent articles reflect a diverse array of research interests and contributions to the field:

Field-based surveys and laboratory tests indicate that candidate biocontrol agents for African lovegrass from South Africa are not suitable for release in Australia

Host-specificity testing of the leaf-feeding flea beetle, Phenrica guerini, a biological control agent for the invasive alien cactus, Pereskia aculeata

Anthropogenic disturbance affects specialist, but not generalist, endophagous insects associated with two African grasses: implications for biological control

Discovery of a new exotic cactus, Opuntia megapotamica Arechav.(Cactaceae) in South Africa using molecular data.

First record of an African grass-feeding wasp (Tetramesa; Eurytomidae) on the invasive grass Eragrostis curvula (African lovegrass; Poaceae) in Australia.

Know thy enemy: Investigating genetic contributions from putative parents of invasive Nymphaea mexicana hybrids in South Africa as part of efforts to develop biological control

Recent post-release evaluations of weed biocontrol programmes in South Africa: A summary of what has been achieved and what can be improved

Phylogenetic analyses reveal multiple new stem-boring Tetramesa taxa (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae): implications for the biological control of invasive African …
