Hybridization increases invasive knotweed success
Hybridization is one of the fundamental mechanisms by which rapid evolution can occur in exotic species. If hybrids show increased vigour, this could significantly contribute to invasion success. Here, we compared the success of the two invasive knotweeds, Fallopia japonica and F. sachalinensis, and their hybrid, F. × bohemica, in competing against experimental communities of native plants. Usi...
متن کاملCan land managers control Japanese knotweed? Lessons from control tests in Belgium.
Japanese knotweed Fallopia japonica is an extremely abundant invasive plant in Belgium and surrounding countries. To date, no eradication method is available for land managers facing the invasion of this rhizomatous plant. We tested different chemical herbicides with two application methods (spraying and stem injection), as well as mechanical treatments, on knotweed clones throughout southern B...
متن کاملOptimising control of invasive crayfish using life-history information
1. Optimisation of control methods of invasive species using life-history information may increase probability that techniques will be effective at reducing impacts of nuisance species. 2. The northern crayfish, Orconectes virilis, has negatively affected native flora and fauna throughout the world in areas where it is non-native. Yet, life history of invasive populations has rarely been studie...
متن کاملEcological Impact of Japanese Knotweed in Western Europe
Fallopia japonica (Houtt.) Ronse Decr. (Japanese knotweed) is considered to be one of the most serious invasive exotic weeds in Europe, causing significant damage to native ecosystems. However, with the exception of competitive exclusion of native vegetation, its suggested ecological impact is poorly supported by experimental studies. In 2004, we started to investigate the ecological impact of ...
متن کاملObject-Based Image Analysis for Detection of Japanese Knotweed s.l. taxa (Polygonaceae) in Wales (UK)
Japanese Knotweed s.l. taxa are amongst the most aggressive vascular plant Invasive Alien Species (IAS) in the world. These taxa form dense, suppressive monocultures and are persistent, pervasive invaders throughout the more economically developed countries (MEDCs) of the world. The current paper utilises the Object-Based Image Analysis (OBIA) approach of Definiens Imaging Developer software, i...
