(Eurasian watermilfoil). Given the variety of impacts it has on ecological and recreational values, identifying an effective treatment strategy for Eurasian and hybrid watermilfoil is a priority for invasive aquatic plant management agencies. Unfortunately, traditional control efforts using herbicides have not only been variably effective, but they have also resulted in non-target impacts. The herbicide florpyrauxifen-benzyl (trade name ProcellaCOR®) has recently been approved but understanding of effectiveness is mostly limited to mesocosm studies. Our study reports the outcome of using florpyrauxifen-benzyl to treat a strain of hybrid watermilfoil in an inland lake in the Laurentian Great Lakes region. Mean abundance in treatment areas decreased at all points sampled (or stayed the same where initial cover was zero). Percent cover in the two quadrats declined from 50% to 5% in area 1, and 20% to 0% in area 2. Of the nine native plant species present, frequency of occurrence increased (six species) or stayed the same (three species) after treatment. Mean species richness at each transect increased pre-to post-treatment. The substantial decreases in this strain of hybrid watermilfoil abundance and increases in presence of native aquatic vegetation in this field study provide initial evidence that florpyrauxifen-benzyl is effective in partial-lake treatments of this strain of hybrid watermilfoil at an application rate of 12.68 oz/ac ft, with limited non-target impacts to native species. Our study balances observational studies with logistical management concerns to benefit researchers and lake stakeholders, alike. Study outcomes support recent advances in milfoil management that could lead to improved control, which translates to reduced ecological and recreational impacts of milfoil, as well as reduced non-target impacts and long-term management costs.","PeriodicalId":54262,"journal":{"name":"Management of Biological Invasions","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69555877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Early detection of these potentially invasive aquatic plants (IAP) could minimize impacts of novel incursions and facilitate successful eradication. We developed, implemented, and then adaptively refined a probabilistic boat-based sampling design that aimed to maximize the likelihood of detecting novel IAP incursions in large (400+ hectares) Great Lakes coastal areas. Surveys were conducted from 2017 to 2019 at five Great Lakes locations - St Joseph River (MI), Saginaw River (MI), Milwaukee (WI), Cleveland (OH), and the Detroit River (MI). Aquatic plant communities were characterized across the five sites, with a total of 61 aquatic plant species detected. One-fifth of the species detected in our surveys were non-native to the Great Lakes basin. Sample-based species rarefaction curves, constructed from detection data from all surveys combined at each location, show that the estimated sample effort required for high confidence (> 95%) detection of all aquatic plants at a site, including potentially invasive species, varies (< 100 sample units for Detroit River; > 300 sample units for Milwaukee, roughly equivalent to 6 to 18 days sampling effort, respectively). At least 70% of the estimated species pool was detected at each site during initial 3-day surveys. Leveraging information on detection patterns from initial surveys, including depth and species richness strata, improved survey efficiency and completeness at some sites, with detection of at least 80% of the estimated species pool during subsequent surveys. Based on a forest-based classification and regression method, a combination of just five variables explained 70% or more of the variation in observed richness at all sites (depth, fetch, percent littoral, distance to boat ramps and distance to marinas). We discuss how the model outcomes can be used to inform survey design for other Great Lakes coastal areas. The survey design we describe provides a useful template that could be adaptively improved for early detection of IAP in the Great Lakes.</p>","PeriodicalId":54262,"journal":{"name":"Management of Biological Invasions","volume":"13 1","pages":"45-67"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9157784/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10638471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Trondheim municipality, in the middle part of Norway, roach was introduced into the Ila watercourse in 1881. Roach has a great potential to alter the ecosystem when introduced to new locations. The potential negative impact on potable water source quality and the prospect of permanently eradicating an alien species resulted in rotenone treatment of six lakes in Trondheim municipality. The rotenone concentration in the lakes was surveyed by water sampling until it could no longer be detected. A lethal concentration of rotenone at all test points was measured in all lakes during the survey period. Fourteen days after treatment, a near homogenous concentration was reached. The concentration reduction was similar in the lakes and relatively quicker during the first weeks after treatment. It was also consistent between depths except for the surface, where the concentration degraded more quickly. Rotenone degradation is a key factor when planning eradication efforts, and reports on this varies considerably between different locations. Despite application of rotenone in different depth strata, it took several days to reach homogenous concentration and several months and a fall turnover for the rotenone to break down and dilute below the detection limit in the lakes described.","PeriodicalId":54262,"journal":{"name":"Management of Biological Invasions","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69554988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It also represents a major threat to the endemic Lesser Antillean Iguana, Iguana delicatissima , on St. Eustatius. Following the capture of an adult female IAGI on St. Eustatius in early 2016, we conducted a Rapid Response Removal Campaign (RC) from April 2016 to January 2017. Three sets of directed visual surveys totaling 409.5 observer hours and covering a combined trajectory of 114.2 km realized only a single detection of a hybrid that was later removed. During the remainder of the campaign period, an additional four IAGI hybrids were opportunistically detected and removed thanks to park staff or community involvement. Since the end of the campaign, eight additional detections and removals have been realized, three of which were IAGIs caught while offloading freight in the harbour and five of which were hybrids caught in surrounding suburban areas. We suggest that at least four distinct IAGI introductions to St. Eustatius occurred between 2013 and 2020. Our results show the value of motivating and mobilizing stakeholders and the public at an early stage of an invasion. Since the program’s initiation, eight of the 13 iguanas detected for culling were thanks to public and key stakeholder support and involvement. Four years after our campaign, the number of IAGIs and their hybrids still appear to be limited and concentrated in and around inhabited areas. Additional removal campaigns should be initiated as soon as possible, firmly based in public outreach, motivation and engagement. New legislation is needed to prohibit the importation, possession and harbouring of IAGIs or hybrids and to provide a framework for long-term structural funding required for effective control and removal. Routine fumigation and rigorous inspection of arriving cargo to eliminate the risk of stowaway IAGIs are also recommended. Culling of IAGIs is recommended for the port of St. Maarten, which serves as a major point of dispersal of IAGIs to St. Eustatius and likely also other islands in the region.","PeriodicalId":54262,"journal":{"name":"Management of Biological Invasions","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69555071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Once established, NNS can be further spread by human activities. The spread of NNS is a trans-boundary challenge that must be met through a range of management measures operating over international and local scales. In contrast, the responsibility of managing NNS post-introduction often fall on marine managers working within localised areas of jurisdiction, such as ports and marinas. Here we examine how legislative frameworks, risk management and perception, influence the ability to develop and implement biosecurity planning in an offshore, semi-autonomous island community; the Shetland Islands. We propose a holistic approach to biosecurity management by integrating risk management methodologies into the wider management process of marine spatial planning. The challenges and opportunities created by a bottom-up approach to management are assessed within the context of global, pan-European, national and local management measures (e.g. regulations, treaties and policies). This paper sets out a framework for managing risk in an environment where the actions of many actors are outside the direct control of those tasked with managing the ecological and socio-economic impacts of marine NNS.","PeriodicalId":54262,"journal":{"name":"Management of Biological Invasions","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69555337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, sampling the distribution of aquatic invasive species (AIS) is costly and time consuming, especially when they are rare or clustered. While random sampling removes bias in most estimates, it could lead to many zeroes in the response variable if the target species is not evenly distributed. We surveyed the distribution of Tubifex tubifex , the obligate secondary host of Myxobolus cerebralis , an invasive parasite that causes whirling disease in salmonids. We used intensive grid and random sampling in a lake and two river systems but collected many samples with zero T. tubifex . Zero-altered models identified a single source of zero T. tubifex counts in each dataset and improved model validation compared to Poisson or negative binomial models. While T. tubifex counts were not predictable using the covariates we measured, the binomial processes identified zero odds of a T. tubifex occurrence at lake sites with water depths > 2 m and stream sites with channel slopes > 3%. These covariates could be used to stratify the landscape for future sampling, which would save survey time and resources and likely reduce uncertainty in parameter estimates. Model-based sample stratification could address some of the challenges with AIS surveys when species are at low abundance or are clustered.","PeriodicalId":54262,"journal":{"name":"Management of Biological Invasions","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69555785","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Groves [1919]; Characeae), known as starry stonewort, is an invasive macroalga in Laurentian Great Lakes states and provinces in North America. Because of its potential negative impacts on native ecosystems and recreation, N. obtusa has become a high-priority target for management. However, there is a critical lack of foundational information on the efficacy of different algaecides, and concentrations thereof, for N. obtusa control. Additionally, control of N. obtusa bulbils—asexual reproductive structures that are the main pathway for the establishment of new plants—has proven difficult. We tested the efficacy of six commonly used copper-based algaecides, at a series of copper concentrations up to the maximum labeled rate, on N. obtusa thalli (photosynthetic aboveground tissues) and bulbils in controlled laboratory experiments. Bulbils were placed above and below sediment in separate experiments to evaluate whether sediment acted as a barrier to treatment. At 14 days after treatment (DAT), there were significant reductions in thalli biomass (34% and 40%) for two algaecides at the highest concentration evaluated (1.0 mg Cu L -1 ) and significant thalli discoloration at 0.75 and 1.0 mg Cu L -1 for four algaecides. There were no significant negative effects on N. obtusa thalli biomass or discoloration at lower concentrations of any product. For below-sediment bulbils, none of the algaecides reduced N. obtusa viability compared to untreated controls by 56 DAT, and viability was significantly greater than in controls for three different algaecides at 0.25 mg Cu L -1 . For above-sediment bulbils, there was low sprouting across all algaecide treatments and untreated controls, indicating inhospitable growing conditions. These findings provide a baseline for improvement of chemical treatment options for N. obtusa , provide guidance for future research on N. obtusa control, and underscore the challenges in achieving sustained N. obtusa control.","PeriodicalId":54262,"journal":{"name":"Management of Biological Invasions","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69555012","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
