Abstract

Ecological niche models are often used to predict the distribution of invasive species before or after they have been detected in new regions. Such models should also be used to guide surveys to promote the early detection and eradication of invasive species. Here we propose a practical framework that seamlessly uses ecological niche models to develop sampling routes that promote detection of invasive species. Our framework uses habitat suitability predictions and occurrence data on incursion populations to generate potential survey sites, which are then prioritized for sampling based on their size and suitability. The generated survey route is then displayed on an open street map platform. Our framework was developed into the ‘enmRoute' R package and a user‐friendly website to facilitate its application, and we validated our framework with a case study. We show that integrating ecological niche models with human transport routes promotes identification of survey sites that are predicted to collect more individuals and have a greater potential for species detection than traditional sampling approaches. Our framework may help industries, invasion biologists, and regulators develop economical and efficient survey programs for invasive pest monitoring that make eradication programs more attainable.

加强监测，促进及早发现和根除入侵物种

生态位模型通常用于预测入侵物种在新地区被发现之前或之后的分布情况。这些模型也应用于指导调查，以促进入侵物种的早期发现和根除。在这里，我们提出了一个实用的框架，它能无缝地利用生态位模型来制定取样路线，从而促进入侵物种的检测。我们的框架利用栖息地适宜性预测和入侵种群的出现数据来生成潜在的调查地点，然后根据这些地点的大小和适宜性确定取样的优先次序。然后将生成的调查路线显示在开放式街道地图平台上。我们的框架被开发成 "enmRoute "R 软件包和一个用户友好型网站，以方便其应用。我们的研究结果表明，将生态位模型与人类交通路线相结合可促进调查地点的确定，与传统的取样方法相比，这些地点预计能采集到更多的个体，并具有更大的物种检测潜力。我们的框架可以帮助企业、入侵生物学家和监管机构制定经济高效的入侵害虫监测调查计划，使根除计划更有可能实现。

期刊介绍： ECOGRAPHY publishes exciting, novel, and important articles that significantly advance understanding of ecological or biodiversity patterns in space or time. Papers focusing on conservation or restoration are welcomed, provided they are anchored in ecological theory and convey a general message that goes beyond a single case study. We encourage papers that seek advancing the field through the development and testing of theory or methodology, or by proposing new tools for analysis or interpretation of ecological phenomena. Manuscripts are expected to address general principles in ecology, though they may do so using a specific model system if they adequately frame the problem relative to a generalized ecological question or problem. Purely descriptive papers are considered only if breaking new ground and/or describing patterns seldom explored. Studies focused on a single species or single location are generally discouraged unless they make a significant contribution to advancing general theory or understanding of biodiversity patterns and processes. Manuscripts merely confirming or marginally extending results of previous work are unlikely to be considered in Ecography. Papers are judged by virtue of their originality, appeal to general interest, and their contribution to new developments in studies of spatial and temporal ecological patterns. There are no biases with regard to taxon, biome, or biogeographical area.
