Synthesizing ecology and evolution for the study of invasive species
This special volume is a compilation of papers from a workshop on Synthesizing Ecology and Evolution for the Study of Invasive Species, held in March 2009 at Lake Tahoe, CA, USA. The goal of this workshop was to bring together a diverse group of scientists to discuss gaps in research pertaining to invasion biology and outline research objectives for the future, with an emphasis on synthesizing ...
متن کاملSpecies distribution modelling of invasive alien species; Pterois miles for current distribution and future suitable habitats
The present study aims to predict the potential geographic distribution and future expansion of invasive alien lionfish (Pterois miles) with ecological niche modelling along the Mediterranean Sea. The primary data consisted of occurrence points of P. miles in the Mediterranean and marine climatic data layers were collected from global databases. All the used models run 100% su...
متن کاملBioterrorism and invasive species.
The risk of dispersing invasive species, especially human pathogens, through acts of bioterrorism, cannot be neglected. However, that risk appears quite low in comparison with the risk of dispersing animal pathogens that could dramatically burden the agricultural economy of food animal producing countries, such as Australia and countries in Europe and North and South America. Although it is not...
متن کاملInvasive Species
Biological invasion The process by which an organism is introduced to, and establishes a sustainable population in, a region beyond its native range. Eradication The managed extirpation of an entire nonnative population. Impact The effect of a nonnative species on its environment. Invasibility The vulnerability of a habitat, community, or ecosystem to invasion. Invasion ecology A multidisciplin...
متن کاملInvasive Species
Invasive species are characterized by their substantial population growth and spread outside their native ranges. Humans originally introduced most of today’s invasive species, and all regions on Earth have been affected by invasive species to some extent. Curiously, 90% or more of introduced species do not become invasive pests; rather, they die out or rely on direct human assistance to achiev...
