Biological control of gorse in New Zealand edit

(

)

... that the early research into the biological control of gorse in New Zealand was among the first undertaken worldwide?

Comment: Really unsure about a suitable hook. Any suggestions welcome!

Maybe something like, "... that Sericothrips staphylinus were released as part of biological control of gorse in New Zealand, but have not spread far because too few of them have wings?" (also need to be sure whether its ok to use that as a plural). --Demiurge1000 (talk) 10:57, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

Parts of the "Exapion ulicis (gorse seed weevil)" section are uncited. This should be fixed. Crisco 1492 (talk) 15:12, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

You're right, I wasn't quite diligent enough in attributing the information to its specific sources. Is now fixed so far as I can see. (My, DYK's come a long way since my first one!) sonia♫ 09:48, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Prefer ALT1. Referencing has been fixed. Crisco 1492 (talk) 11:46, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
