Invasion debt – quantifying future biological invasions [PDF]
Diversity and Distributions, 2016 AbstractAimWe develop a framework for quantifying invasions based on lagged trends in invasions (‘invasion debt’) with the aim of identifying appropriate metrics to quantify delayed responses at different invasion stages – from introduction to when environmental impacts occur.LocationWorld‐wide; detailed case study in South Africa.MethodsWe define four

The Spatial Signature of Introgression After a Biological Invasion With Hybridization
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The accumulation of genome-wide molecular data has emphasized the important role of hybridization in the evolution of many organisms, which may carry introgressed genomic segments resulting from past admixture events with other taxa.

A citation-based map of concepts in invasion biology [PDF]
, 2019 Invasion biology has been quickly expanding in the last decades so that it is now metaphorically flooded with publications, concepts, and hypotheses. Among experts, there is no clear consensus about the relationships between invasion concepts, and almost

Managing biological invasions: the cost of inaction [PDF]
Biological Invasions, 2022 Abstract Ecological and socio-economic impacts from biological invasions are rapidly escalating worldwide. While effective management underpins impact mitigation, such actions are often delayed, insufficient or entirely absent. Presently, management delays emanate from a lack of monetary rationale to invest at early invasion stages, which ...
