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 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 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
Each year, Journal of Applied Ecology awards the Southwood Prize to the best paper in the journal by an author at the start of their career. In this post, Dr. Johanna Bradie (University of Windsor, Canada) discusses her shortlisted paper which reports the development of a decision support tool, known as a ballast water invasion probability tool, which automatically quantifies the risk of non-indigenous species associated with … Continue reading A decision support tool to prioritize ballast water compliance monitoring by ranking risk of non-indigenous species establishment
In our changing climates, some introduced ornamental plant species could establish themselves and become invasive. Emily Haeuser and colleagues present a new model for helping assess naturalization risk in their article, European ornamental garden flora as an invasion debt under climate change. Invasive species can cause significant ecological and economic damage worldwide. They can disrupt ecosystem services, and put threatened and endangered species at risk … Continue reading Identifying lurking garden invaders promoted by climate change
Helen Roy discusses her recent Policy Direction, Developing a framework of minimum standards for the risk assessment of alien species and the challenges of producing a 14-step checklist for quality assurance in invasive species risk assessment. The dramatic rise in numbers of non-native species worldwide is increasingly recognised as problematic. While some non-native species have minimal effects on biodiversity*, and a few may be beneficial, about … Continue reading Managing non-native species and building a risk assessment checklist
Focusing on invasive species management, Carles Carboneras comments on the recent Policy Direction, A prioritised list of invasive alien species to assist the effective implementation of EU legislation, published in Journal of Applied Ecology and recently featured by BBC News. Alien organisms can cause significant disruption when introduced into a new environment and, for that reason, effective policies on invasive species aim at preventing their … Continue reading A prioritised list of invasive alien species of EU concern
