Published: Jan. 4, 2024

ABSTRACT Weed communities influence the dynamics of ecosystems, particularly in disturbed environments where anthropogenic activities often result higher pollution. Understanding existing between native weed and invasive species is crucial for effective management normal ecosystem functioning. Recognising potential resistance to invasion can help identify suitable plants restoration operations. This review aims investigate adaptations exhibited by non‐native weeds that may affect invasions within environments. Factors such as ecological characteristics, altered soil conditions, potentially confer a competitive advantage relative or are analysed. Moreover, roles biotic interactions competition, mutualistic relationships, allelopathy shaping described. Emphasis given consideration key factor provides insights conservation efforts Additionally, this underscores need further research unravel underlying mechanisms devise targeted strategies. These strategies aim promote mitigate negative effects By delving deeper into these insights, we gain an understanding ecosystems develop valuable species, restore long‐term sustainability.

Methods We surveyed 150 populations of knotweed, noxious invader the temperate zone, along China ranges Results found larger denser were associated with shifts leaf economy chemical defences. Introduced had higher SLA but reduced chlorophyll, lignin, C:N ratio toughness altered tannins, flavonoids alkaloids. three distinct multivariate phenotypes primarily ranges, two mainly populations.

Economic costs of biological invasions within North America

NeoBiota, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 67, P. 485 - 510

Published: July 29, 2021

Invasive species can have severe impacts on ecosystems, economies, and human health. Though the economic of invasions provide important foundations for management policy, up-to-date syntheses these are lacking. To produce most comprehensive estimate invasive costs within North America (including Greater Antilles) to date, we synthesized impact data from recently published InvaCost database. Here, report that cost American economy at least US$ 1.26 trillion between 1960 2017. Economic climbed over recent decades, averaging 2 billion per year in early 1960s 26 2010s. Of countries America, United States (US) had highest recorded costs, even after controlling research effort each country ($5.81 source US). taxa habitats could be classified our database, vertebrates were associated with greatest terrestrial incurring monetary impacts. In particular, cumulatively (from 1960–2017) agriculture forestry sectors 527.07 34.93 billion, respectively. Reporting issues (e.g., quality or taxonomic granularity) prevented us synthesizing all available studies. Furthermore, very few known reported costs. Therefore, while massive, is likely conservative. Accordingly, expanded more rigorous reports necessary invasion estimates, then support data-based decisions actions towards invasions.

Invasion impacts and dynamics of a European‐wide introduced species

Global Change Biology, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 28(15), P. 4620 - 4632

Globalization has led to the introduction of thousands alien species worldwide. With growing impacts by invasive species, understanding invasion process remains critical for predicting adverse effects and informing efficient management. Theoretically, dynamics have been assumed follow an "invasion curve" (S-shaped curve available area invaded over time), but this dynamic lacked empirical testing using large-scale data neglects consider invader abundances. We propose "impact describing generated time based on cumulative To test curve's applicability, we used data-rich New Zealand mud snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum, one most damaging freshwater invaders that almost all Europe. Using long-term (1979-2020) abundance environmental collected across 306 European sites, observed P. antipodarum generally increased through time, with slower population growth at higher latitudes lower runoff depth. Fifty-nine percent these populations followed impact curve, characterized first occurrence, exponential growth, then saturation. This behaviour is consistent boom-bust dynamics, as saturation occurs due a rapid decline in time. Across estimated peaked approximately two decades after detection, rate progression along was influenced local abiotic conditions.

The worldwide networks of spread of recorded alien species

Our ability to predict the spread of alien species is largely based on knowledge previous invasion dynamics individual species. However, in view large and growing number species, understanding universal patterns common among taxa but specific regions would considerably improve our future biological invasions. Here, using a comprehensive dataset years first record for four major groups (birds, nonmarine fishes, insects, vascular plants), we applied network approach uncover frequent sequential recordings across countries worldwide. analysis identified few as consistent early recorders with many subsequent records reported from close geographic vicinity. These findings indicate that consists two levels, backbone main dispersal hubs, driving intercontinental movement, intracontinental radiative their Geographical proximity climatic similarity were significant predictors same-species recording countries. International trade was predictor relative timing recordings, having higher levels flows consistently earlier.

Massive economic costs of biological invasions despite widespread knowledge gaps: a dual setback for India

Biological Invasions, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 24(7), P. 2017 - 2039

Abstract Biological invasions are one of the top drivers ongoing biodiversity crisis. An underestimated consequence is enormity their economic impacts. Knowledge gaps regarding costs produced by invasive alien species (IAS) pervasive, particularly for emerging economies such as India—the fastest growing economy worldwide. To investigate, highlight and bridge this gap, we synthesised data on IAS in India. Specifically, examine how distributed spatially, environmentally, sectorally, taxonomically, temporally, across introduction pathways; discuss Indian vary with socioeconomic indicators. We found that have cost between at least US$ 127.3 billion to 182.6 (Indian Rupees ₹ 8.3 trillion 11.9 trillion) over 1960–2020, these increased time. Despite massive recorded costs, most were not assigned specific regions, environments, sectors, types causal IAS, knowledge more pronounced India than rest world. When specifically assigned, maximum incurred West, South North India, insects semi-aquatic ecosystems; they mainly public social welfare sector, associated damages losses rather management expenses. Our findings indicate reported grossly underestimate actual especially considering expected given India’s population size, gross domestic product high numbers without costs. This analysis improves our negative impacts biological burden can represent its development. hope study motivates policymakers address socio-ecological issues launch a national invasion research programme, since growth will be accompanied greater global change.

The economic and environmental threats posed by non-native forest insects are ever increasing with the continuing globalization of trade travel; thus, need for mitigation through effective biosecurity is greater than ever. However, despite decades research implementation preborder, border, postborder preventative measures, insect invasions continue to occur, no evidence saturation, even predicted accelerate. In this article, we review measures used mitigate arrival, establishment, spread, impacts possible impediments successful these measures. Biosecurity successes likely under-recognized because they difficult detect quantify, whereas failures more evident in continued establishment additional species. There limitations existing systems at global country scales (for example, inspecting all imports impossible, phytosanitary perfect, knownunknowns cannot be regulated against, noncompliance an ongoing problem). should a shared responsibility across countries, governments, stakeholders, individuals.
