Assessing the mechanisms and impacts of shrub invasion in forests: A meta‐analysis
Taken together, these results suggest that restoration efforts should focus on (i) increasing the presence of strong native competitors or functionally diverse native communities, (ii) decreasing sources of invasive shrub propagules while keeping the canopies closed when invasion occurs via high propagule pressure, (iii) avoiding management techniques ...

Insights from experiences comanaging woody invasive alien plants in Argentina
The complexities of invasive alien species (IAS) management call for a close collaboration among stakeholders to comanage effective solutions. Based on a SWOT analysis, we identified personal motivations as the main force that helps to overcome barriers to to IAS comanagement in Argentina. We recommend the development of spaces to share experiences and

Abstract Internet trade is increasingly recognized as a dispersal pathway of non‐native plant species that is difficult to monitor. We sought to identify non‐native flora present in the Chinese online market, the largest e‐commerce market globally, and to decipher the effect of existing trade regulations, among other variables, on e‐trading patterns ...

While prevention has been long recognised as the most cost‐effective action against biological invasions, here we were able to quantify the reduction in invasion risk under a range of management scenarios. Optimising all management elements included in the FT reduced the overall probability of invasion by three orders of magnitude.

As Nephrolepis brownii primarily interferes through above‐ground competition, management of above‐ground tissues may mitigate its impact. However, additional research on the efficacy of this management strategy and potential allelopathic traits is needed.

Effects of land cover and protected areas on flying insect diversity
Abstract Widespread insect losses are a critical global problem. Mitigating this problem requires identifying the principal drivers across different taxa and determining which insects are covered by protected areas. However, doing so is hindered by missing information on most species owing to extremely high insect diversity and difficulties in ...

Classification of direct threats to the conservation of ecosystems and species 4.0
Abstract Identifying and assessing the magnitude of direct threats to ecosystems and species are critical steps to prioritizing, planning, implementing, and assessing conservation actions. Just as medical clinicians and researchers need a standard way to talk about human diseases, conservation practitioners and scientists need a common and ...

Abstract The European Union was hit by the financial crisis of 2008. The impact of this crisis, however, and the extent to which this has led to strengthening environmental, health and safety risk regulation in the EU remain open to debate. This article advances the discussion of the “ratcheting‐up” hypothesis by adding a new explanatory factor, namely

The management of invasive non‐native species is a global challenge, particularly for long‐lived trees. Individual‐based models (IBMs) and expert knowledge are valuable tools for evaluating different strategies to control the population dynamics and range expansion of invasive species.
