Introduction Frankliniella occidentalis, a species of the Family Thripidae that includes many thrips of economic importance, has a neartic origin, presumably in the south west of North America. It was introduced into Europe during the second half of the 1980's, through the horticultural trade in ...
Kenya’s incredible land showed me the importance of appreciating all living beings and helped me recognize that regardless of our species, we have far more similarities than differences. Visiting this country made me realize that living in harmony with wildlife is something that we all should ...
number and proportion in the assemblage. We hypothesised (1) that primary vegetation is generally less invaded than ecosystems modified by humans, and (2) that the incidence and number of non-native species increases with the intensity of LU. However, based on previous results from Europe...
Invasive species can be a major threat to biodiversity and economy. Given the large number of introduced invasive species and the limited resources available, a rigorous assessment of the potential impact of these species is of vital importance for prioritizing management programs. Often, general scori...
(b) Marine acidification impact is based on the same fate model as climate change, combined with the H+ concentration affecting 50% of the exposed species. (c) For mineral resources depletion impact, the material competition scarcity index is applied as a midpoint indicator. (d) Terrestrial ...
The International Union for the Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species is a comprehensive database of over 120,000 species and is a powerful tool to evaluate the threat of invasive species to global biodiversity. Several problema

Anthropogenic threats, such as collisions with man-made structures, vehicles, poisoning and predation by domestic pets, combine to kill billions of wildlife annually. Free-ranging domestic cats have been introduced globally and have contributed to multip
When a NNS is introduced to a new region, there are several obstacles the species need to overcome before it becomes a successful invader. In the tropics, for example, where there is typically high natural biodiversity, complex biotic interactions of the native communities often make it difficult...
