Brazil naturalizes non-native species

Science, 2018
Brazil's national policies are putting the country's megadiversity at risk ([ 1 ][1]–[ 3 ][2]). After passing a 2016 law that will put constraints on biodiversity research ([ 3 ][2]), the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Supply has taken another controversial action: A new ...

Invasive non-native species

2022
Research suggests that the threat from invasive non-native species (INNS) is growing. Biological invasions by INNS harm native species and habitats and can have economic impacts. Biosecurity measures can be adopted to prevent the introduction and spread of INNS.

Invasive Non‐Native Species’ Provision of Refugia for Endangered Native Species

Conservation Biology, 2010
Abstract:  The influence of non‐native species on native ecosystems is not predicted easily when interspecific interactions are complex. Species removal can result in unexpected and undesired changes to other ecosystem components.

Non-native Species Management

2017
This chapter looks at the management of non-native species. It starts by explaining the human practice of moving non-native species in terms of temporal scale and spatial scale. The chapter highlights the importance of non-native species in applied ecology.

Invasive species can also be native…

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2009
In a recent review in TREE, Wilson et al. [1] aim to link success of biological invasions and the dispersal pathways of species. The authors emphasize the characteristics of human-mediated extra-range dispersal pathways (i.e. rapidity, high propagule pressure and high genetic diversity of the introduced population) in order to argue that biological ...

Multiple mechanisms enable invasive species to suppress native species

American Journal of Botany, 2011
• Premise of the study: Invasive plants represent a significant threat to ecosystem biodiversity. To decrease the impacts of invasive species, a major scientific undertaking of the last few decades has been aimed at understanding the mechanisms that drive invasive plant success.

Native good, non-native bad? Defining troublesome species

Environmental Law Review, 2015
This article considers the conceptual thinking behind three recent measures in England, Scotland and the EU in relation to ‘invasive alien species’ and identifies differences in how each defines the scope of the species that are the focus of legislative attention, suggesting underlying conceptual differences – and maps those differences onto the ...
