Economic Incentives for Controlling Trade-Related Biological Invasions in the Great Lakes [PDF]
Ballast water from commercial ships engaged in international trade has been implicated as the primary invasion pathway in over 60 percent of new introductions of invasive alien species (IAS) in the Great Lakes since 1960.

Robust data assimilation in river flow and stage estimation based on multiple imputation particle filter [PDF]
, 2019 In this paper, new method is proposed for a more robust Data Assimilation (DA) design of the river flow and stage estimation. By using the new sets of data that are derived from the incorporated Multi Imputation Particle Filter (MIPF) in the DA ...

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 17, Issue 5, Page 1519-1534, May 2026.Abstract Optimal allocation of resources to the management of biosecurity risk, threatened species conservation or natural hazards such as bushfires is imperative—because program budgets are usually finite and, therefore, constrained. However, effectively dividing resources among management activities to achieve the greatest benefit remains a ...

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 35, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Aim The intentional or unintentional transport of non‐native plants is key to overcoming geographic barriers. However, it remains unclear whether such introduction pathways associate with overcoming environmental barriers, which is key for successful invasion.

Analysis into the selection of a ballast water treatment system
Transport, 2015 Today, it is very important to select and install the optimal equipment for the treatment of ballast water in existing ships. Increasing cargo volumes demand for a greater number of ships for transportation and expanded navigation geography as well as ...

Marine Ecology, Volume 47, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT The introduction of exotic species is one of the main drivers of biodiversity loss in aquatic ecosystems. The Harris mud crab Rhithropanopeus harrisii, native to the Atlantic coast of North America, was recorded in the Patos Lagoon estuary (southern Brazil) in the 1980s, likely introduced via ballast water. However, the effects of this invader

Weed Research, Volume 66, Issue 3, May/June 2026.ABSTRACT Cirsium arvense L. (Canada thistle) is a perennial weed with an extensive root system and prolific vegetative propagation through adventitious root buds, making long‐term management challenging. Florpyrauxifen‐benzyl, a novel synthetic auxin herbicide, has shown potential for controlling broadleaf weeds, but its effects on C.

Veterinary Record, Volume 198, Issue 8, Page e343-e350, 18/25 April 2026.Abstract Background Gastrolith ingestion is a known inherent behaviour in crocodiles. However, the interpretation of coelomic radiographs in crocodilians is challenging due to the limited informative literature in this field. Methods Dorsoventral coelomic radiographs of 49 juvenile saltwater crocodiles (Crocodylus porosus) were acquired twice, with an ...
