Biological invasions and human migrations have increased globally due to socio-economic drivers environmental factors that enhanced cultural, economic, geographic connectivity. Both processes involve the movement, establishment, spread of species, yet unfold within fundamentally different philosophical, social biological contexts. Hence, studying (invasion science) migration (migration studies) presents complex parallels are potentially fruitful explore. Here, we examined nuanced differences between these two phenomena, integrating historical, socio-political, ethical perspectives. Our review underscores need for context-specific approaches in policymaking governance address effectively challenges opportunities harm from invasions. We suggest provide an excellent opportunity transdisciplinary research; one acknowledges complexities potential insights both fields study. Ultimately, natural sciences offers a promising avenue enriching understanding invasion biology dynamics while pursuing just, equitable, sustainable solutions. However, is clear driver invasions, drawing on principles understand past current risks oversimplification harmful generalisations disregard intrinsic rights cultural migrations. By doing so, frameworks support development policies respect dignity, foster diversity, ways promote global cooperation justice.

Early reporting of the introduction and establishment exotic species is paramount importance for successful management. Here we report rapid spread Bare-eyed Pigeon, Patagioenas corensis, on binational island Saint-Martin, West Indies. This range-restricted naturally occurs in arid coastal areas Columbia Venezuela nearby islands. Its Saint-Martin represents an expansion about 1000 km beyond its established native range. Using observations recorded e-bird results from a recent field survey, show that since introduction, most probably between late 2012 early 2013, expanding fast has recently broadened habitat to include anthropized, built areas. The Pigeon neighbouring Leeward Islands, possibly facilitated by climate change future, could be threat both columbid other bird species, through competition resources. We therefore recommend local authorities stakeholders rapidly eradicate or at least prevent further though listing it as game while still possible do so.

Abstract The interacting threats of invasive predators and altered fire regimes are key conservation issues for many native species globally. Artificial refuges have been proposed as a potential tool to provide prey with protection from after fire, but we do not yet know whether they improve animal survival. To address this knowledge gap, experimentally tested how small mammal abundance richness were influenced by the provision artificial prescribed burns. We surveyed mammals across five unburnt sites, seven burnt sites refuges, eight control following two fires in southeastern Australia. There negative neutral responses burns, relative was positively correlated structurally complex vegetation. had no impact on or richness, irrespective burn coverage. These findings suggest that refuge design may be an effective improving population persistence postfire, such should scale up their application. However, given inherent context‐dependency field experiments involving which include difficult‐to‐control variables severity, predator activity, dynamics, encourage researchers undertake further fire‐affected areas, including severe wildfires when less vegetation cover remains. Such studies will help build our understanding utility different ecosystems types.
