Biological invasion hotspots: a trait-based perspective revealsnew sub-continental patterns
(e.g. frequency, timing, types, etc.), attractiveness to humans, and physiological performance can all contribute to a species’ ability to successfully invade (Rejmanek and Richardson 1996, Pyšek and Richardson 2007, van Kleunen et al. 2010, Sol et al. 2012). Field-based investigations ranging from the plot to the global level have further revealed that the functional distinctness of non-native...

متن کاملBiotic Invasion: A Global Perspective and Ecology of Invasion: Patterns and Perspectives
Interest in biotic invasions has grown as the entry, spread and proliferation of organisms beyond their native ranges is accelerating world-wide. The study of invasions can make use of these natural experiments for better understanding community composition changes, the rate and character of natural selection, genetic drift, and coevolution. Biotic invasions are part of the global change caused...
متن کاملBiological Invasion Risks and the Public Good: an Economic Perspective
We postulate that the causes of the problem of invasive alien species are primarily economic and, as such, require economic solutions. Invasive alien species are of increasing concern for four reasons. First, introductions are increasing sharply, while mechanisms for excluding or eradicating alien species have been either withdrawn or progressively weakened. Both trends are due to the liberaliz...
متن کاملPatterns of Technology Transfer in Chinese Hotspots of Innovative Development—The Perspective of the Recipient Firms
In China, as in other countries, pre-competitive research constitutes the basis of techno-economic development beyond imitation and adaptation. While acknowledging the nation’s concerted efforts to improve the situation, most empirical accounts of science-industry linkages in China remain sceptical about local universities’ ability to meaningfully transfer knowledge and technologies. Against th...
