Non-indigenous Species and Preemptive Trade Policy [PDF]
, 2008 This paper presents a theoretical model of the enforcement of an SPS standard - border inspections for invasive non-indigenous species - in the presence of both risk-reducing and protectionist motivations. The paper evaluates the impact of political economy and terms of trade motivations on optimal inspection intensity.

Fishery reforms for the management of non-indigenous species [PDF]
Journal of Environmental Management, 2021 Marine ecosystems are undergoing major transformations due to the establishment and spread of Non-Indigenous Species (NIS). Some of these organisms have adverse effects, for example by reducing biodiversity and causing ecosystem shifts. Others have upsides, such as benefits to fisheries or replacing lost ecological functions and strengthening biogenic ...

Non-indigenous and Invasive Freshwater Species on the Atlantic Islands of the Azores Archipelago
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Freshwater systems on remote oceanic islands are particularly vulnerable to biological invasions. The case of freshwater ecosystems in the Azores Archipelago is especially relevant considering the islands’ youth and remoteness, and low natural ...

Spatiotemporal patterns of non-native terrestrial gastropods in the contiguous United States [PDF]
NeoBiota, 2020 The contiguous United States (CONUS) harbor a significant non-native species diversity. However, spatiotemporal trends of some groups such as terrestrial gastropods (i.e., land snails and slugs) have not been comprehensively considered, and therefore ...
