This bibliometric and systematic review assesses research progress climate change adaptation strategies to control invasive crop pests in sub-Saharan Africa. Scientific publications on pest management Africa a context of were extracted from papers published between 1991 2024. A literature search was conducted Scopus, dimension, google scholar, followed by screening data extraction compliance with ROSES standards. Findings indicated that such as armyworms, fruit flies coffee berry borer cause huge losses. Communities are adopting integrated management, water harvesting, drip irrigation, resistant varieties, improving production efficiency. Agro-ecological practices reduce invasions while preserving the environment. Meanwhile, chemical insecticide use remains an emergency solution its effects would be more efficient. However, promising approaches emerge around biocontrol, agroforestry integrating gender-tailored strategies. Nevertheless, regional disparities persist scientific output. In conclusion, represent major plant health crisis Africa, this highlights innovative Their development will require coordinated mobilization catalyze sustainable agro-ecological transition needs address these multidimensional challenges. Future should assess farmer’s perception effectiveness existing for pests.

The global increase in biological invasions is placing growing pressure on the management of ecological and economic systems. However, effectiveness current expenditure difficult to assess due a lack standardised measurement across spatial, taxonomic temporal scales. Furthermore, there no quantification spending difference between pre-invasion (e.g. prevention) post-invasion control) stages, although preventative measures are considered be most cost-effective. Here, we use comprehensive database invasive alien species costs (InvaCost) synthesise model invasions, order provide better understanding stage at which these expenditures occur. Since 1960, reported have totalled least US$95.3 billion (in 2017 values), considering only highly reliable actually observed - 12-times less than damage from ($1130.6 billion). Pre-invasion ($2.8 billion) was over 25-times lower ($72.7 Management were heavily geographically skewed towards North America (54%) Oceania (30%). largest shares directed invertebrates terrestrial environments. Spending has grown by two orders magnitude since reaching an estimated $4.2 per year globally values) 2010s, but remains 1-2 damages. National increased with incurred costs, actions delayed average 11 years following reporting. These delays level caused additional invasion cost approximately $1.2 trillion, compared scenarios immediate management. Our results indicate insufficient particularly urge investment prevent future control established species. Recommendations improve comprehensiveness, resolution terminology also made.

Since 2016, the fall armyworm (FAW) Spodoptera frugiperda has spread over extensive areas of tropics and subtropics, imperiling food security, economic progress livelihoods millions cereal farmers. Although FAW received long-standing scientific attention in its home range Americas, chemical inputs feature prominently mitigation biological control uptake is globally lagging. Here, building upon a quantitative review global literature, we methodically dissect science. Of known entomopathogens (46), parasitoids (310) predators (215) FAW, approx. 40% have been subject to laboratory- or field-level scrutiny. Laboratory-level performance partially assessed for 14–18% above invertebrate taxa. Yet, organismal, geographic, methodological thematic biases hamper efforts relate in-field animal biodiversity services. Often, single-guild 'snapshot' surveys are preferred comprehensive bio-inventories population dynamics appraisals, trophic interactions remain undocumented, standard pest infestation metrics lacking natural enemy censuses performed arbitrarily. Diurnal biota receive inordinate attention, while egg pupal predation - main biotic sources mortality routinely overlooked. Multiple microbial investigated with view towards mass-rearing augmentative release. Meanwhile, conservation receives marginal cross-disciplinary engagement agroecology domain We lay out several steps, including standardized methodologies, smart use biodemographic toolkits, networked field trials fortification ecological underpinnings, sharpen science urge further momentum implementation.

Biological invasions can dramatically impact natural ecosystems and human societies. However, although knowledge of the economic impacts biological provides crucial insights for efficient management policy, reliable syntheses are still lacking. This is particularly true low income countries where resources insufficient to control effects invasions. In this study, we relied on recently developed "InvaCost" database – most comprehensive repository monetised invasive alien species worldwide produce first synthesis costs African continent. We found that reported ranged between US$ 18.2 billion 78.9 1970 2020. represents a massive, yet highly underestimated burden countries. More alarmingly, these exponentially increasing over time, without any signs abatement in near future.
