Developing a framework of minimum standards for the risk assessment of alien species

Roy, Helen E. ; Rabitsch, Wolfgang ; Scalera, Riccardo ; Stewart, Alan ; Gallardo, Belinda ; Genovesi, Piero ; Essl, Franz ; Adriaens, Tim ; Bacher, Sven ; Booy, Olaf ; Branquart, Etienne ; Brunel, Sarah ; Copp, Gordon Howard ; Dean, Hannah ; D?hondt, Bram ; Josefsson, Melanie ; Kenis, Marc ; Kettunen, Marianne ; Linnamagi, Merike ; Lucy, Frances ; Martinou, Angeliki ; Moore, Niall ; Nentwig, Wolfgang ; Nieto, Ana ; Pergl, Jan ; Peyton, Jodey ; Roques, Alain ; Schindler, Stefan ; Schönrogge, Karsten ; Solarz, Wojciech ; Stebbing, Paul D. ; Trichkova, Teodora ; Vanderhoeven, Sonia ; Valkenburg, Johan van ; Zenetos, Argyro

In: Journal of Applied Ecology, 2018, vol. 55, no. 2, p. 526–538

Biological invasions are a threat to biodiversity, society and the economy. There is an urgent need to provide evidence-based assessments of the risks posed by invasive alien species (IAS) to prioritize action. Risk assessments underpin IAS policies in many ways: informing legislation; providing justification of restrictions in trade or consumer activities; prioritizing surveillance and rapid...

Socio-economic impact classification of alien taxa (SEICAT)

Bacher, Sven ; Blackburn, Tim M. ; Essl, Franz ; Genovesi, Piero ; Heikkilä, Jaakko ; Jeschke, Jonathan M. ; Jones, Glyn ; Keller, Reuben ; Kenis, Marc ; Kueffer, Christoph ; Martinou, Angeliki F. ; Nentwig, Wolfgang ; Pergl, Jan ; Pyšek, Petr ; Rabitsch, Wolfgang ; Richardson, David M. ; Roy, Helen E. ; Saul, Wolf-Christian ; Scalera, Riccardo ; Vilà, Montserrat ; Wilson, John R. U. ; Kumschick, Sabrina

In: Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2017, p. -

Many alien taxa are known to cause socio-economic impacts by affecting the different constituents of human well-being (security; material and non-material assets; health; social, spiritual and cultural relations; freedom of choice and action). Attempts to quantify socio-economic impacts in monetary terms are unlikely to provide a useful basis for evaluating and comparing impacts of alien taxa...

Assessing the ecological risk posed by a recently established invasive alien predator: Harmonia axyridis as a case study

Kenis, Marc ; Adriaens, Tim ; Brown, Peter M. J. ; Katsanis, Angelos ; Martin, Gilles San ; Branquart, Etienne ; Maes, Dirk ; Eschen, René ; Zindel, Renate ; Vlaenderen, Johan Van ; Babendreier, Dirk ; Roy, Helen E. ; Hautier, Louis ; Poland, Remy L.

In: BioControl, 2017, vol. 62, no. 3, p. 341–354

Invasive alien predators are a serious threat to biodiversity worldwide. However, there is no generic method for assessing which local species are most at risk following the invasion of a new predator. The harlequin ladybird, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), is an alien in Europe and many other parts of the world where it affects other species of ladybirds through...

Troubling travellers: are ecologically harmful alien species associated with particular introduction pathways?

Pergl, Jan ; Pyšek, Petr ; Bacher, Sven ; Essl, Franz ; Genovesi, Piero ; Harrower, Colin A. ; Hulme, Philip E. ; Jeschke, Jonathan M. ; Kenis, Marc ; Kühn, Ingolf ; Perglová, Irena ; Rabitsch, Wolfgang ; Roques, Alain ; Roy, David B. ; Roy, Helen E. ; Vilà, Montserrat ; Winter, Marten ; Nentwig, Wolfgang

In: NeoBiota, 2017, vol. 32, p. 1–20

Prioritization of introduction pathways is seen as an important component of the management of biological invasions. We address whether established alien plants, mammals, freshwater fish and terrestrial invertebrates with known ecological impacts are associated with particular introduction pathways (release, escape, contaminant, stowaway, corridor and unaided). We used the information from...

Crossing Frontiers in Tackling Pathways of Biological Invasions

U.

In: BioScience, 2015, vol. 65, no. 8, p. 769–782

Substantial progress has been made in understanding how pathways underlie and mediate biological invasions. However, key features of their role in invasions remain poorly understood, available knowledge is widely scattered, and major frontiers in research and management are insufficiently characterized. We review the state of the art, highlight recent advances, identify pitfalls and constraints,...

New protocols to assess the environmental impact of pests in the EPPO decision-support scheme for pest risk analysis

Kenis, Marc ; Bacher, Sven ; Baker, R. H. A. ; Branquart, E. ; Brunel, S. ; Holt, J. ; Hulme, Philip E. ; MacLeod, A. ; Pergl, Jan ; Petter, F. ; Pyšek, Petr ; Schrader, G. ; Sissons, A. ; Starfinger, U. ; Schaffner, Urs

In: EPPO Bulletin, 2012, vol. 42, no. 1, p. 21–27t

Assessing the potential environmental impact of alien plants and plant pests is notoriously difficult. New protocols have been developed in the framework of the EC project PRATIQUE to provide guidance on environmental impact assessment in the EPPO pest risk analysis (PRA) decision-support scheme and enhance consistency between risk assessors and risk ratings for different pests. A set of...

Invasive alien predator causes rapid declines of native European ladybirds

Roy, Helen E. ; Adriaens, Tim ; Isaac, Nick J. B. ; Kenis, Marc ; Onkelinx, Thierry ; Martin, Gilles San ; Brown, Peter M. J. ; Hautier, Louis ; Poland, Remy ; Roy, David B. ; Comont, Richard ; Eschen, René ; Frost, Robert ; Zindel, Renate ; Vlaenderen, Johan Van ; Nedvěd, Oldrich ; Ravn, Hans Peter ; Grégoire, Jean Claude ; Biseau, Jean Christophe de ; Maes, Dirk

In: Diversity and Distributions, 2012, p. -

Aim Invasive alien species (IAS) are recognized as major drivers of biodiversity loss, but few causal relationships between IAS and species declines have been documented. In this study, we compare the distribution (Belgium and Britain) and abundance (Belgium, Britain and Switzerland) of formerly common and widespread native ladybirds before and after the arrival of Harmonia axyridis, a...

Temporal and spatial variations in the parasitoid complex of the horse chestnut leafminer during its invasion of Europe

Grabenweger, Giselher ; Kehrli, Patrik ; Zweimüller, Irene ; Augustin, Sylvie ; Avtzis, Nikolaos ; Bacher, Sven ; Freise, Jona ; Girardoz, Sandrine ; Guichard, Sylvain ; Heitland, Werner ; Lethmayer, Christa ; Stolz, Michaela ; Tomov, Rumen ; Volter, Lubomir ; Kenis, Marc

In: Biological Invasions, 2010, vol. 12, no. 8, p. 2797-2813

The enemy release hypothesis posits that the initial success of invasive species depends on the scarcity and poor adaptation of native natural enemies such as predators and parasitoids. As for parasitoids, invading hosts are first attacked at low rates by a species-poor complex of mainly generalist species. Over the years, however, parasitoid richness may increase either because the invading host...
