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.

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.

The risk of marine bioinvasion caused by global shipping

Ecology Letters, 2013
Abstract The rate of biological invasions has strongly increased during the last decades, mostly due to the accelerated spread of species by increasing global trade and transport. Here, we combine the network of global cargo ship movements with port environmental conditions and biogeography to quantify the probability of new primary ...

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
