INVASIVE SPECIES: Palletable Change in Canada
Although experts agree more research is needed to investigate whether cell phone use can cause brain cancers, especially in children, a group of scientists, physicians, and public health specialists around the world are urging that simple precautionary measures be taken just in case. Environmental groups have also stepped up pressure for regulatory action, but very little has taken place in the...
متن کاملEvolutionary responses to global change: lessons from invasive species.
Biologists have recently devoted increasing attention to the role of rapid evolution in species' responses to environmental change. However, it is still unclear what evolutionary responses should be expected, at what rates, and whether evolution will save populations at risk of extinction. The potential of biological invasions to provide useful insights has barely been realised, despite the clo...
متن کاملAssessing the effects of climate change on aquatic invasive species.
Different components of global environmental change are typically studied and managed independently, although there is a growing recognition that multiple drivers often interact in complex and nonadditive ways. We present a conceptual framework and empirical review of the interactive effects of climate change and invasive species in freshwater ecosystems. Climate change is expected to result in...
متن کاملFive potential consequences of climate change for invasive species.
Scientific and societal unknowns make it difficult to predict how global environmental changes such as climate change and biological invasions will affect ecological systems. In the long term, these changes may have interacting effects and compound the uncertainty associated with each individual driver. Nonetheless, invasive species are likely to respond in ways that should be qualitatively pre...
متن کاملAre invasive species the drivers of ecological change?
Invasive species are widely accepted as one of the leading direct causes of biodiversity loss. However, much of the evidence for this contention is based on simple correlations between exotic dominance and native species decline in degraded systems. Although appealing, direct causality is not the only possible interpretation. A plausible alternative hypothesis is that exotic dominance could be ...
