Notes: The recent history of the island cycad known as Cycas micronesica provides a model case study that fully integrates conservation science with invasion biology. Improvements in the conservation of biodiversity require the support of adaptive management, both regionally and internationally. This can only be achieved if new knowledge from local research is shared to inform global conservation issues. Here, we have updated the full list of known herbivore species that form a coalition of threats to Guam’s cycad tree species
