Country characteristics and non-indigenous species

Environment and Development Economics, 2010
ABSTRACTThis paper presents an econometric test of two hypotheses underlying the occurrence of non-indigenous species (NIS) at the global scale: openness of recipient nations which allows for international trade to act as a vector of NIS, and habitat fragmentation in recipient nations which facilitates establishment of introduced NIS.

Management of Non-indigenous Species and Invasive Alien Species

2017
When seeking to manage the risks to marine ecosystems and other marine assets arising from the introduction of invasive alien species by human activities, there are two challenges to be surmounted: first, how to avoid the unintentional introduction of non-indigenous species and, second, how to prevent the intentional introduction of such species which,

Non-indigenous species in Mediterranean ports: A knowledge baseline

Marine Environmental Research, 2020
Port areas have been considered bioinvasion hotspots due to the concentration of several invasion vectors. However, the actual distribution of non-indigenous species (NIS) in Mediterranean ports is still poorly understood. Here we conducted a literature review with the aim to provide a knowledge baseline about NIS distribution in Mediterranean ports ...

Defining Indigenous Species: An Introduction

1997
It may seem curious to begin a book on management of plant invasions with a chapter on defining indigenous (IN) species. The first objective, however, in making a decision to manage a potentially problematic species invasion is to first determine whether a species is a natural component of, or is indigenous to, the community in question.

Feeding ecology of indigenous and non‐indigenous fish species within the family Sphyraenidae

Journal of Fish Biology, 2012
The feeding ecology of two common indigenous (Sphyraena viridensis and Sphyraena sphyraena) and one abundant non‐indigenous sphyraenid species, Sphyraena chrysotaenia, of Indo‐Pacific Ocean origin, was investigated in an area of the eastern Mediterranean Sea.

Trophic interactions between indigenous and non-indigenous species in Lampedusa Island, Mediterranean Sea

Marine Environmental Research, 2016
Using stable isotope analysis, we investigated trophic interactions between indigenous benthic taxa and the non-indigenous species (NIS): the green alga Caulerpa cylindracea, the red alga Asparagopsis taxiformis, the crab Percnon gibbesi and the sea hare Aplysia dactylomela. The study was conducted on Lampedusa Island, Mediterranean Sea.
