Indigenous knowledge is saving our iconic species

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023
When a species' last strong foothold occurs on Country, empowering Indigenous-led actions under the collaborative management of culturally significant species is key to species persistence. We examine how Indigenous Australians are using Indigenous knowledge to save the greater bilby, a highly valued species to Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

Zooplankton in Adriatic port environments: Indigenous communities and non-indigenous species

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2019
The zooplankton community was analyzed in ten Adriatic ports as part of the port biological baseline surveys carried out within the framework of the BALMAS project. We provide the first inventory of resident zooplankton taxa and five detected non-indigenous zooplankton species (NIS), and their spatial and seasonal distribution patterns.

Introduction of Non-indigenous Species

2017
With the commencement of anthropogenic transcontinental movements followed by a continually increasing global traffic and intentional transfer of organisms, a diverse array of human-mediated pathways appeared responsible for transporting numerous marine species between different eco-regions.

Lymphocyte Mitogens of Indigenous Australian Plant Species

International Archives of Allergy and Immunology, 1972
Saline extracts of seeds from 164 Australian indigenous plant species representing 73 genera and 28 families were tested for their ability to stimulate blast transformation and mitosis in human buffy coat cells. Extracts from 3 species, <i>Rhagodia crassifolia, Bassia decurrens </i>and <i>Bauhinia Carronii </i>were found to be ...

Tributyltin (TBT) Tolerance of Indigenous and Non-indigenous Bacterial Species

Water, Air, & Soil Pollution, 2016
Tributyltin (TBT) is a species of organotin compound (OTC), used as antifouling biocide in boat and ship paints to prevents the attachment of marine organism on their hull surfaces. Tributyltin was found to be very toxic to a variety of targeted and non-targeted organisms and has high persistence in sediments even after the total global ban by the ...

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.
