Understanding and managing the introduction pathways of alien taxa: South Africa as a case study
(Springer, 2016)
For the effective prevention of biological
invasions, the pathways responsible for introductions must be understood and managed. However introduction pathways, particularly for developing nations,
have been understudied. ...
A simple, rapid methodology for developing invasive species watch lists
(2014-11)
Biosecurity schemes aim to prevent the introduction of species with a high invasion potential, without unduly restricting personal freedom and commercial activities. But invasive species risk assessments are time consuming, ...
Non-native and native organisms moving into high elevation and high latitude ecosystems in an era of climate change: new challenges for ecology and conservation
(Springer, 2016)
Cold environments at high elevation and
high latitude are often viewed as resistant to biological invasions. However, climate warming, land use change and associated increased connectivity all increase the risk of biological ...
The balance of trade in alien species between South Africa and the rest of Africa
(AOSIS, 2017)
Background: Alien organisms are not only introduced from one biogeographical region to
another but also spread within regions. As South Africa shares land borders with six countries, multiple opportunities exist for the ...
Methods and approaches for the management of arthropod border incursions
(Springer, 2016)
Biological invasions are increasing and are
strongly associated with negative agricultural, economic and ecological impacts. It is increasingly recognized that the primary focus in minimizing biological invasions should ...
