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
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 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 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
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?
Feature image © InnoTech Alberta Originally posted and adapted from The Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute Blog. Author Sydney Toni describes their latest study that explores a more cost-effective way of using remote sensing to better understand landscapes at larger scale for habitat monitoring and management. Ideally, the information we collect to manage wildlife habitat is many things: high-resolution, consistent and covering all areas of interest. The … Continue reading Applying remote sensing techniques to wide-scale vegetation inventories
Trevor Caughlin and co-authors describe how the local impacts of an invasive plant motivated research to understand where it spreads. Biological invasions threaten global biodiversity, motivating studies to control invasive species’ spread. We studied outbreaks of puncturevine (Tribulus terrestris), an invasive species in Western North America. While our team appreciates the global threats posed by invasive species, the motivation for our newly published study was … Continue reading Research stories: Maps and models to curb the spread of the abominable puncturevine
A version of this post is available in Spanish here. Author Priscila Ana Powell shares insights from analysing case studies that use co-management to manage woody invasive alien species in Argentina. “Improving the long-term management of woody invasive alien plants (IAS) in Argentina requires the promotion of shared spaces and communication channels for co-designing and co-implementing IAS management interventions that can better align the objectives of … Continue reading Working together to tackle Invasive Alien Species in Argentina
Este post también está disponible en inglés aquí. La autora, Priscila Ana Powell, comparte las ideas principales del análisis de estudios de caso sobre experiencias de cogestión para el manejo de especies exóticas invasoras leñosas en Argentina. “Mejorar la cogestión a largo plazo de las plantas leñosas exóticas invasoras (EEI) en Argentina requiere la creación y promoción de espacios compartidos y canales de comunicación para … Continue reading Trabajando juntos para abordar la problemática delas especies exóticas invasoras en Argentina
Fairlie Kirkpatrick Baird from NatureScot discusses their latest research that reveals the increasing risk of extreme drought in Scotland and how that may affect key habitats and their species. One of the first things that comes to mind when people think of Scotland, alongside the beautiful mountains and the Loch Ness Monster, is the terrible weather. Scotland is famously wet, and as Highlanders we agree … Continue reading Drought in Scotland? Projections affect specialist habitats and species
