Shrinking before our isles: the rapid expression of insular dwarfism in two invasive populations of guttural toad (Sclerophrys gutturalis)
(2020)Island ecosystems have traditionally been hailed as natural laboratories for examining phenotypic change, including dramatic shifts in body size. Similarly, biological invasions can drive rapid localized adaptations within ... -
Applying the Convention on Biological Diversity Pathway Classification to alien species in Europe
(2020)The number of alien species arriving within new regions has increased at unprecedented rates. Managing the pathways through which alien species arrive and spread is important to reduce the threat of biological invasions. ... -
The effect of accessibility and value addition on the costs of controlling invasive alien plants in South Africa: A three-species system dynamics model in the fynbos and grassland biomes
(2020)We developed a two-biome (grasslands and fynbos) system dynamics model simulating invasions of three invasive alien plant species - black wattle (Acacia mearnsii) and two pine species (Pinus patula and Pinus pinaster) - ... -
The effect of cross-boundary management on the trajectory to commonness in biological invasions
(2020)The number of alien species introduced and undergoing range expansion in novel environments is steadily increasing, with important consequences for native ecosystems. The efficacy of management planning and decision making ...
