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,

Conservation in the Context of Non-Indigenous Species

1997
There is currently worldwide concern regarding the invasion of natural areas by non-indigenous species. Several recently published books have addressed this issue in terms of ecological interactions (Mooney and Drake 1986), resource management problems (McKnight 1993), and regulatory impact (OTA 1993). Furthermore, specific regions of the United States

The Champlain Canal as a non-indigenous species corridor

Journal of Great Lakes Research, 2017
Canals that link previously unconnected drainages remain one of the largely unaddressed vectors of exotic species transfer. Aquatic organisms are generally assumed to pass through canals actively, by passive movement, or mediated by boats; here, we demonstrate that population range extension within canals is also a dispersal mode. Our study was focused

Development and non-indigenous species at the global scale

Regional Environmental Change, 2010
This paper investigates the explanatory power of development, prosperity and regulatory capability as proximate causes of non-indigenous species (NIS) occurrence in different countries, doing this by statistically analysing a global cross-sectional data set. Since the quantification of development is subject to much discussion, two different indicators

Non-indigenous Species and Preemptive Trade Policy

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.

Long-term coexistence of non-indigenous species in aquaculture facilities

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2011
Non-indigenous species (NIS) are a growing problem globally and, in the sea, aquaculture activities are critical vectors for their introduction. Aquaculture introduces NIS, intentionally or unintentionally, and can provide substratum for the establishment of other NIS. Little is known about the co-occurrence of NIS over long periods and we document the

Screening of Natural Product Biocides for Control of Non-indigenous Species

Environmental Technology, 2007
Several benzo-, naphtho- and anthraquinones were tested for their efficacy as biocides in controlling aquatic nuisance species in ships' ballast water. A requirement of this application was broad spectrum aquatic toxicity, coupled with a relatively rapid rate of degradation, in order to comply with coastal discharge requirements.

Predicting the establishment of non-indigenous species

2015
Cette thèse se porte sur l'utilisation des données écologiques disponibles afin d’améliorer notre compréhension de la répartition des espèces, avec un accent particulier sur la génération d’outils qui peuvent être utilisés pour évaluer la probabilité d'établissement d’espèces exogènes (EE). Trois facteurs principaux determinent si une EE s'établira: la

DNA-based monitoring of Non-Indigenous Species

2023
The introduction of non-indigenous species (NIS) has a significant human-driven impact on aquaticenvironments, causing the loss of native species, ecosystem integrity, ecosystem services, and economicbenefits. However, monitoring efforts for new NIS introductions in European waters have been limited andinconsistent.
