Purpose: Enhanced capacity to mitigate biosecurity risks in the Falkland Islands (FI), and promotion of bioological control ( using earwigs, forficula auricularia, as a modle system). Earwigs controlled using Classical Biological Control (CBC), resulting in reduced damage to horticulture and human health, and unique heathland habitats protected form disturbed species composition.
