Beyond ‘Native V. Alien’: Critiques of the Native/alien Paradigm in the Anthropocene, and Their Implications

Ethics Policy & Environment, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 26(2), P. 287 - 317

Published: July 29, 2021

Classifying species as 'native' or 'alien' carries prescriptive force in the valuation and management of 'nature'. But classification itself its application are contested, raising philosophical geographical questions about place, space, rights, identity belonging. This paper discusses leading critiques native/alien paradigm, including conceptual fluidity, dichotomous rigidity ethical difficulties, well incendiary charge xenophobia. It argues that valorizing 'native nature' inherently 'best is not only obsolete but impracticable Anthropocene, preeminence biogeographic origins should be replaced with a pragmatic focus on species' behavior.

Distributional range shift of a marine fish relates to a geographical gradient of emotions among recreational fishers

As the effects of climate change increase, distributional range shifts species are also expected to be magnified, necessitating a better understanding their social-ecological implications for adaptive management fisheries and biodiversity conservation.In this paper, we focused on human dimensions recreational in context an ongoing shift target species.Specifically, mined data YouTube from anglers spearfishers targeting white grouper (Epinephelus aeneus), expanding northwards northwestern Mediterranean Sea (Italy, France, Spain).We retrieved 453 videos Italy Spain.We analyzed social engagement (i.e., number views, likes, comments) applied sentiment analysis all comments posted these videos.Results showed that is overall higher than anglers.We documented positive polarity emotions videos, but specific negative were more common angling spearfishing ones.Most importantly, detected significant correlation between joy surprise latitude at which was caught.This result suggests fishers may respond arrival by showing latitudes where rare lower common.Our study illustrates how digital media can used monitor interactions, such as tracking responses them, with potential implications.Specifically, results informative adapt necessary tailored-management actions improving enhancing effective communication strategies, finally evoking environmental stewardship.

Let’s talk aliens - Stakeholder perceptions of an alien species differ in time and space

NeoBiota, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 93, P. 117 - 141

Humans play an integral role in biological invasions, from aiding introductions of alien species to experiencing their impacts and holding the ability manage them. The importance understanding dynamics stakeholders’ perceptions on is therefore increasingly recognized. In this study, we used anonymous online surveys contrast recreational anglers’ towards European flounder ( Platichthys flesus , Linnaeus, 1758) Iceland, where it classified as a potentially invasive species, prevailing amongst anglers species’ native range. We furthermore explored potential temporal changes perception Icelandic anglers. Our results indicate that have highly negative flounder, while its range, positive species. detected significant change less between administered October 2019 March 2023. Finally, compared novel, conservation culturomics tools further explore stakeholder public interest Iceland. comparison highlighted some limitations should be considered when using very small societies or for languages. For example, text mining approaches newspaper articles social media conservations neutral communication within targeted group via contrary surveys. Moreover, short-term peaks public’s drivers those Wikipedia pageviews but Google Trends provided mixed unreproducible results. Overall, our study highlights well vary over time space, though these are often difficult identify.
