The first phase of the Sussex Ouse Invasive Non-Native Species Project identified 46 INNS which have already established within the Ouse catchment, and a further 127 ‘watchlist’ species are closing in. Based on their ecological impact, dispersal capability, reproductive potential, invasion potential,...
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...
Report to Great Britain non-native species secretariat and Defra Smaal AC, van Stralen MR, Craeymeersch J (2005) Does the introduction of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas lead to species shifts in the Wadden Sea? In: Dame RF, Olenin S (eds) The comparative roles of suspension feeders...
Wild bees, hoverflies and wasps are valuable ecosystem service providers in agricultural systems through pollination and biological control, and their species richness, abundance and reproductive success well indicate ecosystem health. However, they are often limited by foraging and nesting resources that ...
obtained species (Great Lakes USFWS team, pers. comm). Increasing sensitivities in many countries around Access and Benefit-Sharing (Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity2017) and the use of digital sequence information will need to be managed effectively to facilitate obtaining such ...
Species native within a subregion (e.g., North Sea) that have been anthropogenically transferred to another country within the same subregion, were not included in the subregional analysis, although they are regarded as NIS in the countries they have invaded. This also applies to countries ...
