Ali Serhan Tarkan ve Ismael Soto, biyolojik istilalar ve etkileri hakkında meslektaşlarıyla birlikte yürüttükleri çalışmayı tartışıyorlar. Çalışma, istilaları etkili bir şekilde yönetmek için karar verici mekanizmaların kararlarını kuvvetlendirecek güvenilir bilgilere ihtiyaç olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Continue reading Dolar ve sent olarak biyolojik istilalar
Ali Serhan Tarkan und Ismael Soto diskutieren ihr kürzlich veröffentlichte Arbeit über neuartige biologische Invasionen und ihre Auswirkungen. Die Studie legt nahe, dass Entscheidungsträger solide Informationen — inklusive hinsichtlich monetärer Kosten — benötigen, um Invasionen effektiv zu managen. Continue reading Die Berücksichtigung der Kosten biologischer Invasionen in Risiko-Evaluationen
Ali Serhan Tarkan e Ismael Soto discuten en su trabajo recientemente publicado, realizado con un equipo interdisciplinario, que trata sobre las nuevas invasiones biológicas y sus impactos. El estudio sugiere que, para gestionar eficazmente las invasiones, los gestores de decisiones necesitan información sólida en la cual basar sus decisiones. Continue reading Calculando los costes económicos de las invasiones biológicas
Ali Serhan Tarkan and Ismael Soto discuss recently published work, conducted with colleagues, surrounding novel biological invasions and their impacts. The study suggests that, to effectively manage invasions, decision-makers need solid information to base decisions on. Continue reading Factoring in the dollars and cents of biological invasions
Author Lucie Buttay summarises Journal of Applied Ecology’s October’s Editor’s Choice research article. Conducted with colleagues, this study used a life cycle model to simulate ‘what if’ scenarios around Northeast Arctic cod eggs and larvae. Extreme climatic events, (e.g. heat waves and storms) are becoming more frequent and intense, and on top of that, the ever-growing development of human activities at sea, entails an increasing … Continue reading Editor’s Choice 60:10 Can management measures be used to reduce the impact of extreme events in the early life of fish?
Sandra Oliveira discusses new research, conducted with colleagues, that saw the development of a model to predict the possible future spread of the invasive Tiger mosquito. The Tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is a highly invasive species that, in the last 40 years, has colonized all continents except Antarctica. Why do we need to worry about it? Because this mosquito can carry several viruses and spread … Continue reading Estimating when the Tiger mosquito will invade a country to prevent the exposure to vector-borne diseases
Ninad Mungi shares recent work, conducted with colleagues, which involved monitoring India’s levels of invasive plant species. This has knock-on effects for apex predators, such as tigers, who rely on their prey being able to access native species. Introduction In a world grappling with drastic ecological challenges, biological invasions have emerged as a pernicious threat to biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and global health. While the impacts … Continue reading Our invaded world: India’s quest for ecosystem restoration
Mark Ditmer discusses his and colleagues’ new research which aims to predict wolf movement and potential conflict hotspots following the state of Colorado’s decision to reintroduce gray wolves. This data may be used to offer practical, actionable recommendations for decision-makers. Animal movement and conflict risk Species’ ranges are shifting – and accurately predicting the way species disperse in novel areas can greatly enhance conservation efforts. … Continue reading Predicting dispersal and conflict risk for wolf recolonisation in Colorado
Eelke Folmer and Jaap van der Meer talk about their recent Forum paper which comments on an earlier research article, and discuss the importance of evidence based decisions in policy. Background In the coming decades, the growth of the global human population will lead to an increase in food demands. This, in turn, is likely to result in a rise in the extraction of marine … Continue reading Questioning the Evidence: Re-analyzing studies on the impact of mechanical dredging on invertebrate communities and associated bird life in the Dutch Wadden Sea
Author Elizabeth Tinsley summarises Journal of Applied Ecology’s September Editor’s Choice research article. This latest research, conducted alongside colleagues, aimed to assess the impact of solar panel farms on bat activity. The growing need for renewable energy As our planet continues to warm, the need for renewable energy is becoming increasingly urgent. Renewable technologies are important in meeting energy demands sustainably and are of vital importance … Continue reading Editor’s Choice 60:9 Bat activity falls by over half at solar farms
