Bioinvasions, Bioterrorism, and Biosecurity

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2003
Despite their high profile and potentially devastating consequences, bioterrorist acts are relatively unpredictable, rare, and thus far small-scale events. In contrast, biological invasions are occurring daily in the US and have significant impacts on human health, agriculture, infrastructure, and the environment, yet they receive far less attention ...

Invasive Species (See Bioinvasion)

2021
An invasive species is any organism that is not native to an ecosystem and is believed to harm it. Bioinvasion (a.k.a. biological exchange, species transfer, relocating or transplanting life) was first regarded as a major threat to biodiversity in the 1990s.

Bioinvasion (See Invasive Species)

2021
Bioinvasion has been regarded as a major threat to biodiversity especially since the 1990s. Bioinvasion is the introduction and spread (intentional or accidental) of non-native species outside their natural past or present ranges that causes the extinction of native species and changes existing ecosystems such that ecosystem services are affected, with

Bioinvasion in Antarctic Ecosystems

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, India Section B: Biological Sciences, 2012
Antarctic ecosystems are considered to be pristine ecosystems; however, increasing global temperature and a considerable increase in human activities pertaining to scientific investigations and tourism are major issues that need an immediate address by global scientific communities.

Marine Bioinvasions in Australia

2008
Australia has been a regular port of call for ocean going vessels since the beginning of the nineteenth century, and the first records of non-native species followed soon after (Table 25.1). However, it has taken over one hundred years and several prominent invasions by demonstrably harmful species, for marine invasions to attract significant ...

Shipping Voyage Simulation Reveals A-Biotic Barriers to Marine Bioinvasions

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022
The shipping industry is considered the main vector of introduction of marine non-indigenous species (NIS). NIS distributions are often a consequence of frequent trade activities that are affected by economic trends. A dominant trend in the shipping industry is the operation of Ultra Large Container Vessels (ULCV), which are over 395 m long and sail ...

A general eco-evolutionary framework for understanding bioinvasions

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2006
Studies of bioinvasions have revealed various strategies of invasion, depending on the ecosystem invaded and the alien species concerned. Here, we consider how migration (as a demographic factor), as well as ecological and evolutionary changes, affect invasion success.
