Invasion debt – quantifying future biological invasions [PDF]

Diversity and Distributions, 2015
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

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 ...

Ecological use of vertebrate surrogate species in ecosystem conservation

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2020
Surrogate species approaches are widely employed by conservation biologists to help address biodiversity conservation issues when distribution and abundance data for most species of conservation concern are not available or are limited due to ...

Ecological Invasion, Roughened Fronts, and a Competitor's Extreme Advance: Integrating Stochastic Spatial-Growth Models [PDF]

, 2009
Both community ecology and conservation biology seek further understanding of factors governing the advance of an invasive species. We model biological invasion as an individual-based, stochastic process on a two-dimensional landscape.

Invasion success of a global avian invader is explained by within-taxon niche structure and association with humans in the native range [PDF]

, 2015
Aim To mitigate the threat invasive species pose to ecosystem functioning, reli- able risk assessment is paramount. Spatially explicit predictions of invasion risk obtained through bioclimatic envelope models calibrated with native species distribution ...

Collateral damage: military invasions beget biological invasions

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, 2023
Biological invasions are frequently and closely associated with armed conflict. As a key element of human history, war involves the invasion of (often distant) enemy territories, during which time species can be translocated, intentionally or unintentionally. Large‐scale conflicts such as World War I and II, in which thousands of soldiers and supplies (

Climate Change and invasibility of the Antarctic benthos [PDF]

, 2007
Benthic communities living in shallow-shelf habitats in Antarctica (<100-m depth) are archaic in their structure and function. Modern predators, including fast-moving, durophagous (skeleton-crushing) bony fish, sharks, and crabs, are rare or absent ...

Live reptile smuggling is predicted by trends in the legal exotic pet trade

Conservation Letters, 2021
Live animal smuggling presents a suite of conservation and biosecurity concerns, including the introduction of invasive species and diseases. Yet, understanding why certain species are smuggled over others, and predicting which species will be smuggled ...
