  abstract = {{P}articipatory research has not been a conspicuous methodology in developing nations for studying invasive pests, an increasing threat to the sustainable development in the tropics. {O}ur study presents a community-based monitoring system that focuses on three invasive potato tuber moth species ({PTM}). {T}he monitoring was developed and implemented by young farmers in a remote mountainous area of {E}cuador. {L}ocal participants collected data from the {PTM} invasion front, which revealed clear connection between the abundance of one of the species ({T}ecia solanivora) and the remoteness to the main market place. {T}his suggests that mechanisms structuring invasive populations at the invasion front are different from those occurring in areas invaded for longer period. {P}articipatory monitoring with local people may serve as a cost-effective early warning system to detect and control incipient invasive pest species in countries where the daily management of biological resources is largely in the hands of poor rural people.},
