Applying fault tree analysis to biological invasions identifies optimal targets for effective biosecurity

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 59, Issue 10, Page 2553-2566, October 2022., 2022
While prevention has been long recognised as the most cost‐effective action against biological invasions, here we were able to quantify the reduction in invasion risk under a range of management scenarios. Optimising all management elements included in the FT reduced the overall probability of invasion by three orders of magnitude.

A global ecological signal of extinction risk in terrestrial vertebrates

Conservation Biology, Volume 36, Issue 3, June 2022., 2022
Abstract To determine the distribution and causes of extinction threat across functional groups of terrestrial vertebrates, we assembled an ecological trait data set for 18,016 species of terrestrial vertebrates and utilized phylogenetic comparative methods to test which categories of habitat association, mode of locomotion, and feeding mode best ...

Above‐ground competition by Nephrolepis brownii inhibits tree seedling recruitment in a tropical restoration experiment

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 8, Page 1968-1979, August 2025.
As Nephrolepis brownii primarily interferes through above‐ground competition, management of above‐ground tissues may mitigate its impact. However, additional research on the efficacy of this management strategy and potential allelopathic traits is needed.

Early detection strategies for invading tree pests: Targeted surveillance and stakeholder perspectives

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 4, Page 857-871, April 2025.
We provide the first surveillance map for emerald ash borer incursions in GB with potential for deployment by government agencies and stakeholders concerned with biosecurity. Our framework establishes optimal surveillance locations depending on factors, including detection within different timeframes, knowledge certainty of entry pathways and ...

Modelling alternative management strategies of invasive tree species at the expansion front: Ligustrum lucidum as a case study

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 6, Issue 1, January–March 2025.
The management of invasive non‐native species is a global challenge, particularly for long‐lived trees. Individual‐based models (IBMs) and expert knowledge are valuable tools for evaluating different strategies to control the population dynamics and range expansion of invasive species.

Suppression of reed canarygrass by assisted succession: A sixteen‐year restoration experiment

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1805-1816, August 2024.
Invasive species management and the restoration of target plant communities can be aided by assisting successional trajectories that have stalled. We document a restoration strategy for forests invaded by shade‐intolerant invaders that is both effective and economical, as only a simple site preparation and single planting effort is required ...

Predicted impact, establishment and distribution of Heikertingerella sp. (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae), recently released for the biological control of Tecoma stans in South Africa Impacto, establecimiento y distribución previstos de Heikertingerella sp. (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae), liberado recientemente para el control biológico de Tecoma stans en Sudáfrica

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 410-420, August 2024.
Abstract Biological control practitioners are required to demonstrate that candidate agents are not only safe for release, but will establish widely in their new range with a significant impact on the target weed. We conducted this study in quarantine to provide insight into the impact and distribution of the root‐feeding flea beetle Heikertingerella ...

Preliminary insights of the genetic diversity and invasion pathways of Cedrela odorata in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 7, July 2024.
Cedrela odorata is the second most invasive tree species in the Galapagos Islands. Using nine microsatellite markers, we found that the genetic diversity of C. odorata in Galapagos is lower (He = 0.55) than in mainland Ecuador (He = 0.81). Our preliminary findings suggest multiple introduction events and that the origin of C. odorata in Galapagos could
