However, the uncertainty associated with the interpretation of positive eDNA detections makes it challenging to determine appropriate natural resource management responses. Multiple sources of error can give rise to positive detections of eDNA in a sample when individuals of that species are not present at the site or a widespread infestation is not imminent. Acting on an erroneous eDNA inference could result in needless costs or reductions in desirable resources. Alternatively, failure to rapidly act on eDNA results that truly indicate invader presence could compound negative impacts and lead to high, long-term costs to manage infestations. We used a structured decision making (SDM) process, which incorporates tradeoffs and uncertainties, to evaluate appropriate response actions following hypothetical eDNA detections of invasive dreissenid mussel (Dreissena spp.) eDNA in Jordanelle Reservoir, Utah (USA). We worked with decision-makers and stakeholders to identify objectives and discrete management action alternatives to assess consequences and tradeoffs. Alternatives ranged from no action to intensive and expensive control efforts. The best performing alternative was delayed containment described by immediate attempts to confirm the eDNA detections using nonmolecular sampling techniques followed by mandatory watercraft exit inspections to prevent dreissenid mussel spread to regional water bodies. Non-molecular sampling increased public support for management by demonstrating a commitment to monitor the invasion state before action, whereas containment decreased likelihood of regional spread to other waters. Delayed containment had the lowest downside risk, and the highest upside gains relative to other alternative actions. Sensitivity analyses showed our results to be robust to parameter and outcome uncertainty.","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":"69555049","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}

Herein, we provide information regarding a first attempt of involving citizens in mosquito monitoring on the island of Cyprus. During the 2018–2019 season, an island wide network of citizen scientists was formed as part of The Three Mosquiteers initiative and the Mosquitoes Without Borders project that aims at educating and engaging citizens of all ages regarding mosquitoes. The new network was named Aedes Watch Out and it aims to provide information on island wide mosquito presence overcoming jurisdictional barriers and cost constraints. Aedes Watch Out aims to serve as an early warning information source about the non-native Asian tiger mosquito ( Aedes albopictus ) arrival to Cyprus, complementing current capacities and any work that the authorities undertake. The initial outcomes of the project demonstrate that even a small number of dedicated citizen scientists can generate important information and greatly facilitate experts in entomology and public health.","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":"69555737","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}

In the United States, rock doves ( Columba livia ), Eurasian collared doves ( Streptopelia decaocto ), rose-ringed parakeets ( Psittacula krameri ), monk parakeets ( Myiopsitta monachus ), common mynas ( Acridotheres tristis ), European starlings ( Sturnus vulgaris ), and house sparrows ( Passer domesticus ) are among the invasive and often harmful small-bodied birds inhabiting periurban habitats. The destructive nature of these species warrants a review of methods to reduce or eradicate populations along with methods to reduce damage when population eradication cannot be achieved. We reviewed damage management literature from these species’ native and introduced ranges. Additionally, we used the behavior and ecology of these species to inform tool recommendations and potential efficacy under various damage scenarios, while being sensitive to cultural preferences and location of implementation (residential, commercial, and agricultural). Although this review focuses on invasive birds in the United States, it is applicable to other pest species across the globe. Our review highlights areas where research is needed to validate promising damage management methods (lethal control, fertility control, habitat modification, exclusionary methods, frightening devices, and chemical repellents). Where birds are invasive, integrated pest management techniques should focus on eradication or population reduction (toxicants, shooting, and trapping) to keep populations at levels where nonlethal tools can reduce damage. We acknowledge the efficacy of an eradication campaign depends on biological, environmental, and economic factors, along with social license for lethal removal. We recommend integrated pest management strategies including lethal and nonlethal tools specific to the damage problem. Sustained efforts to reduce invasive populations should be used along with integrated deterrent strategies for short-term damage relief.","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":"69555793","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}

This is especially true for areas where this plant species is abundant and wide spread or the probability of re-infestation is high due to hydrological connectivity with other infested surface waters or wetlands. Therefore, the large-scale eradication of this invader is often assumed not to be cost-effective. In 2018, C. helmsii was eradicated in a wetland of 4.5 ha covering interconnected humid dune valleys on the Wadden Island of Terschelling in the Netherlands. The total costs of this large-scale project were estimated to be 1.5 million euro. The applied method was excavation of infested locations and replenishing these areas with clean (uncontaminated by C. helmsii) sand to restore boundary conditions suitable for recovery of the treated habitats in this Natura 2000 site. An eight step approach was implemented to eradicate the invasive plant species. Aftercare consisted of a monitoring program with six-weekly vegetation surveys for early detection of any regrowth of C. helmsii and assessment of the effectiveness of the eradication measures. The eradication of C. helmsii was regarded successful since this fast growing plant species was not observed in the areas of concern during a period of at least two years. The results of a strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threads (SWOT) analysis revealed that the method for eradication of this invasive plant species was effective to secure nature values but also complex, time consuming and costly. Our lessons learnt and recommendations for management will help other nature managers making the right decisions in determining appropriate eradication measures for C. helmsii.","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":"69555382","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}

At Palmyra Atoll National Wildlife Refuge (Central North Pacific), native invasive corallimorpharians, Rhodactis howesii , have smothered live native corals since 2007. Laboratory and field trials were conducted evaluating two control methods to remove R. howesii overgrowing the benthos at Palmyra Atoll (Palmyra): 1) paste mixed with chlorine, citric acid, or sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and 2) hot water. Paste mixed with NaOH had the most efficacious kill in mesocosm trials and resulted in > 90% kill over a 98 m 2 area three days after treatment. Hot water at 82°C was most effective in mesocosms; in the field hot water was less effective than paste but still resulted in a kill of ca. 75% over 100 m 2 three days after treatment. Costs of paste and heat (excluding capital equipment and costs of regulatory approval should this method be deployed large scale) were $70/m 2 and $59/m 2 respectively. Invasive R. howesii currently occupy ca 5,800,000 m 2 of reef at Palmyra with ca. 276,000 m 2 comprising heavily infested areas. Several potential management strategies are discussed based on costs of treatment, area covered, and the biology of the invasion.

However, there is limited understanding regarding the effectiveness of INNS management approaches in the short and long term, in particular in the marine environment. Further, the interplay between management and key population drivers is not well explored. The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas Thunberg, 1793, also known as Magallana gigas Thunberg, 1793 , is native to the north-eastern Pacific coast of Asia and has been introduced in the UK for aquaculture purposes, with wild populations now widely established along the South coast. Concern over the potential impact of this species has led to trial of its management, yet clear evidence to support management decisions around this species is still lacking. This study applied a modelling framework, based on differential equations representing C. gigas life stages, to explore the effect of adult oyster population management on population persistence and density, under changing temperatures and external larval recruitment. The outputs highlight that population control may be possible and intuitively population density is negatively correlated with management frequency and effort. However, the exact relationship between population density and management is influenced by spawning and external recruitment. Specifically, outputs indicate that while the effects of climate change could be counterbalanced by an increase in management effort, the impact of external recruitment can only be reduced through management, rather than reversed. The wider application of this framework to inform INNS management decisions is discussed.","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":"69554994","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}

Sphagneticola trilobata (L.) Pruski, 1996, is a common invasive plant in South China that can adapt to high light and high temperature environments, but its photosynthetic physiological response to shaded environments, such as forest margins, remains unclear. This study investigates the photosynthetic physiology and oxidative damage of S. trilobata and the native species Sphagneticola calendulacea (L.) Pruski, 1996, in a low-irradiance environment. The results show that, compared with the full-light group, photosynthetic gas exchange parameters (including net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate) and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (maximal quantum yield and actual quantum yield of PSII) of plants in the low-light group significantly decreased after shading, while intercellular CO 2 and nonphotochemical quenching increased; of note, S. trilobata experienced smaller changes. The malonaldehyde content of S. calendulacea increased, while phenols and the total antioxidant capacity of S. trilobata declined more significantly than those of the native species tested . These results further indicate that, compared with S. calendulacea , S. trilobata exhibited a lower loss in photosynthesis and less oxidative damage under shading. This may explain why S. trilobata tends to spread to forests in South China.","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":"69554999","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}
