Invasive Alien Species (IAS) are amongst the most significant drivers of species extinction and ecosystem degradation, causing negative impacts on ecosystem services and human well-being. InvasiBES, a project funded by BiodivERsA-Belmont Forum for 2019–2021, will use data and models across scales, habitats and species to understand and anticipate the multi-faceted impacts of IAS and to...

Quarantine arthropod invasions in Europe: the role of climate, hosts and propagule pressure

Bacon, Steven J. ; Aebi, Alexandre ; Calanca, Pierluigi ; Bacher, Sven

In: Diversity and Distributions, 2014, vol. 20, no. 1, p. 84-89

Aim: To quantify the relative importance of propagule pressure, climate-matching and host availability for the invasion of agricultural pest arthropods in Europe and to forecast newly emerging pest species and European areas with the highest risk of arthropod invasion under current climate and a future climate scenario (A1F1).Location: Europe.Methods: We quantified propagule pressure,...
