Confronting the wicked problem of managing biological invasions (2016, background): “This framework is also applicable in the case of inhabited islands where humans are potentially impacted by the invasive species, or may object to an eradication program on ethical (in the case of animal eradications) or aesthetic (in the case of flowering plants) grounds (Estévez et al. 2015).”
Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change (2020, background): “…interventions and ecosystem management must contend with significant time lags between the onset of the environmental stressors and the expression of invader impacts, and forecasting such phenomena is plagued by context dependencies and nonlinearities (Essl et al. 2015b, 2015c; Coutts et al. 2018).”
Troubling travellers: are ecologically harmful alien species associated with particular introduction pathways? (2017, background): “…individual introduction pathways, and corresponding vectors, of alien species is a potentially powerful strategy to prevent new species introductions and thus reduce both the future costs to society as well as negative impacts on biodiversity (Carlton and Ruiz 2005, Hulme 2009, Essl et al. 2015).”
Temporal and interspecific variation in rates of spread for insect species invading Europe during the last 200 years (2016, background): “This recent influx of alien insects appears to comprise predominately herbivores (Roques 2010), which is probably related to recent changes in trade practices, especially the increased magnitude in the movement of live plants globally (Liebhold et al. 2012; Eschen et al. 2014; Essl et al. 2015).”
Risk Analysis and Bioeconomics of Invasive Species to Inform Policy and Management (2016, background): “Early invasion biologists focused on predicting natural dispersal after a species was introduced (70), but much current research incorporates models of anthropogenic vectors to inform prevention and other management efforts (71).”
Increasing numbers and intercontinental spread of invasive insects on eucalypts (2016, unknown): “By 1985, the total area planted to eucalypts was estimated at 6 million hectares (Eldridge et al. 1994).”
Global rise in emerging alien species results from increased accessibility of new source pools (2018, background): “, fashion trends and the pet trade) (32).”
Mapping the global state of invasive alien species: patterns of invasion and policy responses (2017, background): “This paper explores global patterns of invasions, introduction pathways and associated legislative responses for invasive alien species (IAS) based on the most comprehensive databases currently available. IAS are defined in international governance as species introduced via human action outside of t”
Assessing patterns in introduction pathways of alien species by linking major invasion data bases (2017, methodology): “Essl et al. (2015) reported that 99% of GISD pathway data and 79% of DAISIE pathway data directly matched with the available categories of the CBD scheme.”
Complex patterns of global spread in invasive insects: eco-evolutionary and management consequences (2016, background): “The rate of accumulation of IAS continues to be very high in some parts of the world (Aukema et al. 2010) and to increase in others (Essl et al. 2015).”
Invasive alien species on islands: impacts, distribution, interactions and management (2017, background): “Invasion pathways comprise the vectors for transportation and the routes travelled (Essl et al. 2015).”
A vision for global monitoring of biological invasions (2017, background): “Cross-border policy and co-operation is essential to slow the rate of new incursions, but accurate information on alien species distributions is required for the assessment of trans-boundary and trading partnership risks (Essl et al., 2015).”
Alien Pathogens on the Horizon: Opportunities for Predicting their Threat to Wildlife (2017, background): “There are now databases providing high-quality data on IAS to inform science, policy, and ultimately conservation (Roy et al. 2014; Essl et al. 2015).”
Projecting the continental accumulation of alien species through to 2050 (2020, unknown): “…patterns of alien species accumulation may differ among different taxonomic groups on the same continent, as the importance of the underlying mechanisms (e.g. the relevance of different introduction pathways, environmental and habitat characteristics) may vary substantially (Essl et al., 2015).”
