Horizon scanning for invasive alien species with the potential to threaten biodiversity in Great Britain
Invasive alien species (IAS) are considered one of the greatest threats to biodiversity, particularly through their interactions with other drivers of change. Horizon scanning, the systematic examination of future potential threats and opportunities, leading to prioritization of IAS threats is seen as an essential component of IAS management. Our aim was to consider IAS that were likely to impa...
متن کاملPreference and Prey Switching in a Generalist Predator Attacking Local and Invasive Alien Pests
Invasive pest species may strongly affect biotic interactions in agro-ecosystems. The ability of generalist predators to prey on new invasive pests may result in drastic changes in the population dynamics of local pest species owing to predator-mediated indirect interactions among prey. On a short time scale, the nature and strength of such indirect interactions depend largely on preferences be...
متن کاملOccurrence of invasive alien plant species in the floodplain forests along the Mura River in Slovenia
Background and purpose: The objectives of our study were to identify invasive alien plant species (IAS) in the main Natura 2000 forest habitat types (FHT) along the Mura River in Slovenia, and to estimate their abundance and cover. The aim of our study was to find out a) Which IAS appear in the research forests? b) What is their frequency and cover percentage? c) Whether individual IAS prosper ...
متن کاملEntomopathogenic Fungi Associated with Exotic Invasive Insect Pests in Northeastern Forests of the USA
Mycopathogens of economically important exotic invasive insects in forests of northeastern USA have been the subject of research at the Entomology Research Laboratory, University of Vermont, for the last 20 years. Elongate hemlock scale, European fruit lecanium, hemlock woolly adelgid and pear thrips were analyzed for the presence of mycopathogens, in order to consider the potential for managin...
متن کاملThe identification and remote detection of alien invasive plants in commercial forests: An Overview
Invasive alien plants are responsible for extensive economic and ecological damage in forest plantations. They have the ability to aggressively manipulate essential ecosystem structural and functional processes. Alterations in these processes can have detrimental effects on the growth and productivity of forest species and ultimately impact on the quality and quantity of forest wood material. U...
