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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesConservation 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 ...

Notas sobre Neófitos en el curso urbano del río Guadalquivir en Sevilla [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
El asentamiento y expansión de especies vegetales en regiones fuera de su área de distribución natural por causas antrópicas, es uno de los problemas más importantes que afectan a la conservación de la biodiversidad. Las especies alóctonas suponen una

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

open access: yesJournal 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.

Plantación con Ochetophila trinervis (Rhamnaceae) en riberas del noroeste patagónico invadidas por Salix fragilis (Salicaceae)

open access: yesBoletín de la Sociedad Argentina de Botánica
Introducción y objetivos: Salix fragilis es un árbol no-nativo invasor que altera riberas patagónicas. La revegetación con nativas podría favorecer la recuperación de biodiversidad, pero requiere una especie capaz de convivir con la invasora. El arbusto

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

open access: yesJournal 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

open access: yesEcological 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.
