Developing a list of invasive alien species likely to threaten biodiversity and ecosystems in the European Union

Global Change Biology, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 25(3), P. 1032 - 1048

Published: Dec. 12, 2018

Abstract The European Union ( EU ) has recently published its first list of invasive alien species IAS concern to which current legislation must apply. comprises known pose great threats biodiversity and needs be maintained updated. Horizon scanning is seen as critical identify the most threatening potential that do not yet occur in Europe subsequently risk assessed for future listing. Accordingly, we present a systematic consensus horizon procedure derive ranked likely arrive, establish, spread have an impact on region over next decade. approach unique continental scale examined, breadth taxonomic groups environments considered, methods data sources used. International experts were brought together address five broad thematic . For each group independently assembled lists established but potentially if introduced. Experts asked score within their separate likelihoods i) arrival, ii) establishment, iii) spread, iv) magnitude negative then convened 2‐day workshop applying compile From initial working 329 species, 66 considered very high (8 species), (40 species) or medium (18 was derived. Here, these highlighting impacts biogeographic regions affected by IAS.

Establishment and range expansion of invasive Cactoblastis cactorum (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae: Phycitinae) in Texas

Florida Entomologist, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 108(1)

Abstract Invasive species are a leading cause of global biodiversity decline. Larvae the cactus moth Cactoblastis cactorum Berg (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae: Phycitinae) consume prickly pear ( Opuntia ; Cactaceae) in its native South American range. High host specificity made C. an appropriate biological control agent species, which have become invasive weeds around world. This program was successful. Ironically, success weed facilitated series events led to invasion North America where diversity is tremendous. In 2017, established along southeast Texas coast. 2020, we began monitoring dispersal towards south and south-west with pheromone traps. Our objectives were document extent calculate rates commercial -growing regions Mexico. There four overlapping flight peaks Texas.

Genomic biosurveillance of forest invasive alien enemies: A story written in code

Evolutionary Applications, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 13(1), P. 95 - 115

Published: Aug. 12, 2019

Abstract The world's forests face unprecedented threats from invasive insects and pathogens that can cause large irreversible damage to the ecosystems. This threatens capacity provide long‐term fiber supply ecosystem services range carbon storage, nutrient cycling, water air purification, soil preservation maintenance of wildlife habitat. Reducing threat forest alien species requires vigilant biosurveillance, process gathering, integrating, interpreting, communicating essential information about pest pathogen achieve early detection warning enable better decision‐making. is challenging due diversity pests need be identified, diverse pathways introduction, difficulty in assessing risk establishment. Genomics powerful new solutions biosurveillance. invasion a story written four chapters: transport, establishment, spread. series processes lead successful leave behind DNA signature tells an invasion. help us understand dynamic, multistep inform management current future introductions. review describes application genomic tools pipelines will accurate identification pathogens, assign outbreak or survey samples putative sources identify spread, assess based on traits impact outcome.

Recurrent bridgehead effects accelerate global alien ant spread

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 115(21), P. 5486 - 5491

Published: May 7, 2018

Significance Because of the globalization trade and travel, worldwide invasion rates are high. A potential driver global acceleration new invasions is so-called bridgehead effect, in which initial invasive populations serve as source additional via secondary introductions. However, frequency overall importance introductions remain largely unknown. Using a remarkable dataset, spanning nearly 100 years (1914–2013), ant interceptions at air maritime ports United States New Zealand, we found that most arise transport intermediate regions. Our analyses also reveal positive feedback between introduction establishment stages process acting critical increasing rates.
