Biological invasion and biological control select for different life histories
Biological invaders have long been hypothesized to exhibit the fast end of the life-history spectrum, with early reproduction and a short lifespan. Here, we examine the rapid evolution of life history within the harlequin ladybird Harmonia axyridis. The species, once used as a biological control agent, is now a worldwide invader. We show that biocontrol populations have evolved a classic fast l...

متن کاملInspection, Surveillance, and Biological Invasion
International economic activities have helped species spread into non-native habitats, which cause significant ecological and economic burden of invaded countries. Therefore, an intuitive method to prevent exotic species from invasion is to use tariff or non-tariff trade barriers to limit trade. Nevertheless, restriction on trade has its own costs; and besides, trade barriers may not be availab...
متن کاملOn Prevention and Control of an Uncertain Biological Invasion
This paper examines how optimal prevention and control policies depend on the economic and biological characteristics of a randomly introduced biological invasion where the objective is to minimize the expected social costs from prevention, control, and invasion damages. The results characterize how optimal prevention and control policies vary with the initial invasion size, the invasion growth...
متن کاملA global indicator for biological invasion.
"Trends in invasive alien species" is one of only two indicators of threat to biodiversity that form part of the Convention on Biological Diversity's (CBD) framework for monitoring progress toward its "2010 target" (i.e., the commitment to achieve by 2010 a significant reduction in the current rate of biodiversity loss). To date, however, there is no fully developed indicator for invasive alien...
