Thanks for the information, Kim.
"Since 1975, a total of 51 biocontrol
species have been introduced to Hawai‘i after thorough testing — none
have switched hosts to non-target species, and none have resulted in
the eradication of their host."
This has really opened my eyes, I thought the introduction of new species just asn't done any more. They seem to spend a lot of time on these studies, I wonder if anything is underway for the coqui?
