Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change (2020, background): “Woodford et al. (2016) suggest that systematic framing of “wickedness” by mediators can lead to negotiated solutions – either by reaching agreement on the dimensions and implications of unavoidable conflicts, or by circumventing the conflict by seeking alternative management perspectives.”
Alien flora of Turkey: checklist, taxonomic composition and ecological attributes (2017, unknown): “…the current research on biological invasions, for guiding legislation and code of conducts, as input to decision making and risk assessment and in the formulation of management policies and strategies for nature conservation (Hoffmann and Broadhurst 2016, Woodford et al. 2016, Jacobs et al. 2017).”
Biological Invasions in South Africa: An Overview (2020, background): “Species introduced for commercial or amenity value, (e.g. trees for commercial forestry and freshwater fish for recreational angling) that have become invasive have led to vociferous disagreement as to how they should be managed (van Wilgen and Richardson 2014; Woodford et al. 2016).”
Ecology and management of invasive Pinaceae around the world: progress and challenges (2017, background): “Engagement with forestry companies and other stakeholders is crucial for ensuring appropriate framing the dimensions of the invasions within local, regional, national, and international contexts (Woodford et al. 2016).”
Does public awareness increase support for invasive species management? Promising evidence across taxa and landscape types (2017, background): “…decision makers and researchers increasingly recognize the need to consider the social dimensions of invasive species management (e.g. Stokes et al. 2006; Garcı́a-Llorente et al. 2008; Reed et al. 2009; Kueffer 2010; Sharp et al. 2011; Moon et al. 2015; Novoa et al. 2016a; Woodford et al. 2016).”
How do invasive species travel to and through urban environments? (2017, background): “2013), this approach is particularly valuable where taxon-specific control efforts are not possible, for example, for unintentional introductions (Woodford et al. 2016).”
