Identifying suitable habitat, uncertainties, and pre-import decisions Session: Science and Economics of Pre-Import Screening for Animal Species
نویسنده
چکیده
Reviews of studies to predict invasiveness have been carried out by Kolar and Lodge (2001) and updated by Hayes and Barry (2008). A significant body of literature has built up across a range of taxa looking at correlates of invasion success. Several points can be made from this literature. First, while invasiveness cannot be predicted with certainty, statistical approaches can produce models that on average provide significant discrimination, and characterise the nature of this uncertainty. Second, while a range of factors are related to invasiveness in particular circumstances, few consistent predictors have been found. In summary climatic match, history of invasiveness and number of releases/size of release are consistently related to establishment success.

Results of a plant screening test with implications for animal screening approaches Session: Science and Economics of Pre-import Screening for Animal Species
Several types of screening tools for precluding purposeful import of taxa with high probability of becoming invasive in a new geography have been developed. Such tools are generally developed through a retroactive test of taxa with known invasiveness in the new range. These taxa should represent the full range of both invasiveness, from never invasive to highly invasive with clear economic and ...
متن کاملForecasting spread and impact to inform pre-import decisions
Introduction In a bioeconomic framework of addressing the threat of invasive species, one of the objectives my research program is to provide estimates of the regional economic and ecological impact an invasive species will potentially inflict upon a region. Achieving this objective requires addressing four steps: 1) estimate the potential habitat, 2) predict the spread, 3) estimate economic an...
متن کاملThe Effect of Exchange Rate Uncertainty on Import with TARCH Approach
This paper investigates the effect of exchange rate uncertainty on the Iran’s import trade. The exchange rate uncertainty series were generated utilizing the TARCH model. This model analyzes the asymmetric effects. The analysis of uncertainty and asymmetry of the exchange rate shows significant TARCH effect on Iran’s exchange rates. The findings of the study indicate negative shocks (bad ne...

The results showed that feet forward neural network leading with less forecast error and had better performance in comparison to econometric techniques and also, other methods of neural networks, such as Recurrent networks a...
متن کاملIran’s Maize Import Policy Based on the Exchange Rate Volatility and Price Expectation
The present study has made an attempt to discuss the effects of exchange rate volatility and price expectation on maize imports in Iran from 1980 to 2013. In doing so, using the EGARCH technique for time series econometrics, price volatility variables for both exchange rate and final price have been calculated, and the time series for these variables have been extracted. Additionally, in regard...
