Four priority areas to advance invasion science in the face of rapid environmental change

Environmental Reviews, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 29(2), С. 119 - 141

Опубликована: Дек. 7, 2020

Unprecedented rates of introduction and spread non-native species pose burgeoning challenges to biodiversity, natural resource management, regional economies, human health. Current biosecurity efforts are failing keep pace with globalization, revealing critical gaps in our understanding response invasions. Here, we identify four priority areas advance invasion science the face rapid global environmental change. First, should strive develop a more comprehensive framework for predicting how behavior, abundance, interspecific interactions vary relation conditions receiving environments these factors govern ecological impacts invasion. A second is understand potential synergistic effects multiple co-occurring stressors— particularly involving climate change—on establishment impact species. Climate adaptation mitigation strategies will need consider possible consequences promoting species, appropriate management responses be developed. The third address taxonomic impediment. ability detect evaluate risks compromised by growing deficit expertise, which cannot adequately compensated new molecular technologies alone. Management become increasingly challenging unless academia, industry, governments train employ personnel taxonomy systematics. Fourth, recommend that internationally cooperative bridgehead dispersal networks, organisms tend invade regions from locations where they have already established. Cooperation among countries eradicate or control established yield greater benefit than independent attempts individual exclude arriving establishing.

ABSTRACT Standardised terminology in science is important for clarity of interpretation and communication. In invasion – a dynamic rapidly evolving discipline the proliferation technical has lacked standardised framework its development. The result convoluted inconsistent usage terminology, with various discrepancies descriptions damage interventions. A therefore needed clear, universally applicable, consistent to promote more effective communication across researchers, stakeholders, policymakers. Inconsistencies stem from exponential increase scientific publications on patterns processes biological invasions authored by experts disciplines countries since 1990s, as well legislators policymakers focusing practical applications, regulations, management resources. Aligning standardising stakeholders remains challenge science. Here, we review evaluate multiple terms used (e.g. ‘non‐native’, ‘alien’, ‘invasive’ or ‘invader’, ‘exotic’, ‘non‐indigenous’, ‘naturalised’, ‘pest’) propose simplified terminology. streamlined translate into 28 other languages based ( i ) denoting species transported beyond their natural biogeographic range, ii ‘established non‐native’, i.e. those non‐native that have established self‐sustaining populations new location(s) wild, iii ‘invasive non‐native’ recently spread are spreading invaded range actively passively without human mediation. We also highlight importance conceptualising ‘spread’ classifying invasiveness ‘impact’ management. Finally, protocol dispersal mechanism, origin, population status, iv impact. Collectively introducing present aims facilitate collaboration species.

Unveiling the resistance of native weed communities: insights for managing invasive weed species in disturbed environments

Biological reviews/Biological reviews of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 99(3), С. 753 - 777

Опубликована: Янв. 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.

Impacts on and damage to European forests from the 2018–2022 heat and drought events

Natural hazards and earth system sciences, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 25(1), С. 77 - 117

Опубликована: Янв. 6, 2025

Abstract. Drought and heat events in Europe are becoming increasingly frequent due to human-induced climate change, impacting both human well-being ecosystem functioning. The intensity effects of these vary across the continent, making it crucial for decision-makers understand spatial variability drought impacts. Data on drought-related damage currently dispersed scientific publications, government reports, media outlets. This study consolidates data European forests from 2018 2022, using Europe-wide datasets including those related crown defoliation, insect damage, burnt forest areas, tree cover loss. data, covering 16 countries, were analysed four regions, northern, central, Alpine, southern, compared with a reference period 2010 2014. Findings reveal that all zones experienced reduced vitality elevated temperatures, varying severity. Central showed highest vulnerability, coniferous deciduous trees. southern zone, while affected by loss, demonstrated greater resilience, likely historical exposure. northern zone is experiencing emerging impacts less severely, possibly site-adapted boreal species, Alpine minimal impact, suggesting protective effect altitude. Key trends include (1) significant loss zones; (2) high levels despite 2021 being an average year, indicating lasting previous years; (3) notable challenges central Sweden bark beetle infestations; (4) no increase wildfire severity ongoing challenges. Based this assessment, we conclude (i) highly vulnerable heat, even resilient ecosystems at risk severe damage; (ii) tailored strategies essential mitigate change forests, incorporating regional differences resilience; (iii) effective management requires harmonised collection enhanced monitoring address future comprehensively.

Forest decline is nowadays a major challenge for ecosystem sustainability. Dehesas, which consists of savannah-like mediterranean ecosystems, are threatened by the holm oak in south-west Iberian Peninsula. Phytophthora cinnamomi considered main agent root rot, but little known about relationship between diversity soilborne microbial community and syndrome oak. It would be hypothesized that changes structure functionality soil microbiome might influence tree health status through richness beneficial organisms such as mycorrhizal species, or fungal plant pathogens Fusarium spp. Alternaria Total DNA samples from declined dehesas was extracted analyzed metabarcoding techniques, to evaluate specific composition oomycete communities their with disease symptoms. The included wide range abundance ectomycorrhizal key taxa related low defoliation degree. Pythium spiculum did not appear among most abundant oomycetes, nor were they directly levels. Moreover, particular taxon belonging genus Trichoderma strongly correlated scarcity pathogenic severity study represents powerful tool develop biocontrol strategies management rot.

Forest Insect Biosecurity: Processes, Patterns, Predictions, Pitfalls

Annual Review of Entomology, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 68(1), С. 211 - 229

Опубликована: Окт. 6, 2022

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.

Observed and Potential Range Shifts of Native and Nonnative Species with Climate Change

Annual Review of Ecology Evolution and Systematics, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 55(1), С. 23 - 40

Опубликована: Июнь 17, 2024

There is broad concern that the range shifts of global flora and fauna will not keep up with climate change, increasing likelihood population declines extinctions. Many populations nonnative species already have advantages over native species, including widespread human-aided dispersal release from natural enemies. But do also an advantage change? Here, we review observed potential for globally. We show are expanding their ranges orders magnitude faster than reflecting both traits enable rapid spread ongoing human-mediated introduction. further large expansions likely due to a combination introduction broader climatic tolerances. With rates larger persist or expand, decided in changing climate.
