Predicting Forest Pest Threats in Australia: Are Risk Lists Worth the Paper they’re Written on?

Global Biosecurity, 2022
We reviewed exotic insect species that are considered threats to Australia’s plantation, amenity, native forests and timber-in-service (“risk species”), comparing them to already-established non-native species.

Non-native plants add to the British flora without negative consequences for native diversity [PDF]

, 2015
Plants are commonly listed as invasive species, presuming that they cause harm at both global and regional scales; ~40% of species listed as invasive within Britain are plants. Yet invasive plants are rarely linked to the national or global extinction of

The Study of Exotic and Invasive Plant Species in Gullele Botanic Garden, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia

Journal of Zoological and Botanical Gardens
The Gullele Botanic Garden was established to preserve and safeguard indigenous, rare, endemic, endangered, and economically important plant species. The objective of this study was to identify and map the exotic, invasive, and potentially invasive plant

Social and Cultural Dynamics of Non-native Invasive Species [PDF]

, 2021
AbstractInvasive species and their management represent a complex issue spanning social and ecological systems. Invasive species present existing and potential threats to the nature of ecosystems and the products and services that people receive from them.

The longitudinal gradient prevails over local characteristics in shaping fish species distributions in a large neotropical reservoir

Water Biology and Security
In large reservoirs, spatial gradients are the primary drivers of fish species distributions. However, local characteristics can also influence fish distributions and assemblage structure.

Are Amphipod invaders a threat to the regional biodiversity? Conservation prospects for the Loire River [PDF]

, 2010
The impact of invasions on local biodiversity is well established, but their impact on regional biodiversity has so far been only sketchily documented.

The UK risk assessment scheme for all non-native species [PDF]

, 2008
1. A pest risk assessment scheme, adapted from the EPPO (European and Mediterranean Plant Protection Organisation) scheme, was developed to assess the risks posed to UK species, habitats and ecosystems by non-native taxa. 2.

Explaining the variation in impacts of non-native plants on local-scale species richness: the role of phylogenetic relatedness [PDF]

, 2014
Aim: To assess how the magnitude of impacts of non-native plants on species richness of resident plants and animals varies in relation to the traits and phylogenetic position of the non-native as well as characteristics of the invaded site.Location ...
