A management framework for preventing the secondary spread of aquatic invasive species

Biological invasions continue to accelerate, and there is a need for closer integration between invasive species research and on-the-ground management. In many regions, aquatic invasive species have established isolated populations, but have not yet spread to many sites that provide suitable habitat. In the Laurentian Great Lakes region, several Great Lakes invaders such as zebra mussel (Dreiss...

Control effort exacerbates invasive-species problem.

Ecosystem managers face a difficult decision when managing invasive species. If they use aggressive practices to reduce invader abundances, they will likely reduce invaders' competitive impacts on natives. But it is often difficult or impossible to reduce invaders without damaging natives. So a critical question becomes: Which is worse for native biota, invaders or things done to control invade...

[Patients' classification systems as management tools at intensive care units].

This study is a theoretical approach to different care and management measuring tools used to determine the severity of patients' illnesses, to quantify patients' care demands, and to estimate the actual need for Nursing professionals and the costs of intensive care, which makes them management facilitators. This article presents several measuring tools that are focused on the classification of...

Deriving efficient frontiers for effort allocation in the management of invasive species

Invasive species cause significant losses through their effect on agriculture, human health and the environment. Their importance has increased with time due to globalisation, as the spread of invasive species is facilitated by the increased movement of people, cargo and genetic material around the world. There is a vast literature on the economics of invasive species and their management. Here...
