Rapid recovery of damaged ecosystems

Available Online

Jones, Holly P.

Schmitz, Oswald J.

Background: Recent reports on the state of the global environment provide evidence that humankind is inflicting great damage to the very ecosystems that support human livelihoods. The reports further predict that ecosystems will take centuries to rec

Hurricane Activity and Large-scale Pattern of Spread of an Invasive Plant Species

Available Online

Bhattarai, Ganesh P.

Cronin, James T.

Disturbances are a primary facilitator of the growth and spread of invasive species. However, the effects of large-scale disturbances, such as hurricanes and tropical storms, on the broad geographic patterns of invasive species growth and spread have

Feral hog disturbance alters carbon dynamics in Southeastern US salt marshes

Available Online

Persico, Emily P.

Sharp, Sean J

Angelini, Christine

Disturbances that remove primary producers and alter substrate chemistry commonly influence ecosystem carbon dynamics. Because coastal wetlands are especially effective in sequestering carbon, quantifying how disturbances may alter their ability to p

Share Pacific invasive species data using the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF)

Available Online

The Invasive Species Battler series has been developed to share what we have learned about common invasive species issues in the region. They are not intended to cover each issue in depth but to provide information and case-studies that can assist

Invasive mammal eradication on islands results in substantial conservation gains

Available Online

Jones, Holly P.

More than US$21 billion is spent annually on biodiversity conservation. Despite their importance for preventing or slowing extinctions and preserving biodiversity, conservation interventions are rarely assessed systematically for their global impact.

From wing to wing: the persistence of long ecological interaction chains in less-disturbed ecosystems

Available Online

McCauley, Douglas ... et al.

Human impact on biodiversity usually is measured by reduction in species abundance or richness. Just as important, but much more difficult to discern, is the anthropogenic elimination of ecological interactions. Here we report on the persistence of a

Herbicidal control of bridal creeper (Asparagus asparagoides) in an ecologically sensitive environment

Jusaitis, Manfred

Asparagus asparagoides (bridal creeper) is a highly invasive noxious environmental weed in southern Australia. It poses a severe threat to biodiversity and conservation in temperate natural ecosystems. Pterostylis arenicola, a threatened terrestrial

Update on the environmental and economic costs associated with alien-invasive species in the United States

Pimentel, David

Zuniga, Rodolfo

Morrison, Doug

Invading alien species in the United States cause major environmental damages and losses adding up to almost $120 billion per year. There are approximately 50,000 foreign species and the number is increasing. About 42% of the species on the Threatene

Economics of Harmful Invasive Species: A review

Marbuah, George

Gren, Ing-Marie

McKie, Brendan

The purpose of this study is to review theoretical and empirical findings in economics with respect to the challenging question of how to manage invasive species. The review revealed a relatively large body of literature on the assessment of damage c

Learning-by-catching: Uncertain invasive-species populations and the value of information

D'Evelyn, Sean T.

Tarui, Nori

Burnett, Kimberly

Roumasset, James A.

This paper develops a model of invasive species control when the species population size is unknown. In the face of an uncertain population size, a resource managers species-control efforts provide two potential bene ts: (1) a direct bene t of poss
