Streamlining alien species listing processes to enable prioritisation and reporting in protected areas: The case of alien plants in South African National Parks
Management of alien species is a critical conservation priority in protected areas. Reliable alien species checklists are central to prioritisation, …
Article scientifique
Argument maps can support decisions to declare the presence of alien species: South Africa as a case study
Accurate alien species lists are essential for effective biodiversity policy and regulation. However, the evidence that a species is present …

Potential future economic impact of Vespula germanica (Fabricius) (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) in South Africa
The potential economic effects of the introduced German wasp, Vespula germanica (Fabricius), on fruit and vegetable industries and households in …
Article scientifique
A workflow for impact indicators of alien species: A demonstration with Acacia species
The negative impact of alien species is recognised as a major threat to biodiversity. An impact indicator, a measurable proxy …
Article scientifique
From detection to action—a proposed workflow to ensure first reports of alien species from molecular analyses are acted upon
Gaps between detection and action often hinder timely biosecurity responses. For example, the polyphagous shot hole borer ( Euwallacea fornicatus …
Article scientifique
WatchListR: a tool for developing watch-lists of invasive species to inform biosecurity decision-making
The Global Biodiversity Framework calls for member countries to reduce the rate of introduction of known or potential invasive alien …
Article scientifique
An evidence-based protocol for developing lists for tree planting
Tree-planting is increasingly being promoted for urban greening, carbon sequestration, and to enhance biodiversity. However, poorly planned and executed tree-planting …
Article scientifique
Deriving inventories of non-native plant species from iNaturalist: Insights from urban centres of the Western Cape, South Africa
Accurate, up-to-date inventories of non-native species are important to document and improve our understanding of biological invasions globally and inform …
Article scientifique
First insights into the scale of invasions in African marine protected areas: leveraging global databases and citizen science data
Up-to-date information on the distribution of alien species is essential for evidence-based management. However, routine monitoring is resource intensive. This …
Article scientifique
A global synthesis of naturalised and invasive plants in aquatic habitats
Global databases have contributed to our understanding of alien, naturalised and invasive plant species distributions. Still, the role of species …
Article scientifique
Lessons and challenges in creating alien species lists: insights from South Africa’s national reports on the status and management of biological invasions
Information on alien species present in a country, their status (establishment, distribution, impacts), and how they entered and move around …
Article scientifique
Energetic metabolism and condition indices in native versus invasive common waxbills
Invasive alien species (IAS) pose a serious threat to global biodiversity, and unravelling the mechanisms driving their expansion across new …
Article scientifique
Temperature-dependent versatility shapes invasiveness in the tropical freshwater gastropod Melanoides tuberculata
Invasive species cause major losses in biodiversity worldwide and alter ecosystem functioning. Once established, invaders are often impossible to remove …
Article scientifique
Invasion and spread of the neotropical leafhopper Curtara insularis (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae) in Africa and North America and the role of high-altitude windborne migration in invasive insects
Invasive insects threaten ecosystem stability, public health, and food security. Documenting newly invasive species and understanding how they reach into …
Article scientifique
Following in the footsteps of invasion: comparisons of founder and invasive genotypes of two independent invasions reveal site-specific demographic processes and no influence by landscape attributes on dispersal
To understand the success of invasive alien species, it is necessary to evaluate the site-specific eco-evolutionary challenges they face in …
Article scientifique
Assessing the invasion risk of traded alien ferns using species distribution models
Risk analysis plays a crucial role in regulating and managing alien and invasive species but can be time-consuming and costly. …
Article scientifique
Myrtus communis in Europe threatened by the pandemic and South African strains of the myrtle rust pathogen Austropuccinia psidii (Sphaerophragmiaceae, Pucciniales)
Austropuccinia psidii, the causal agent of myrtle rust, has emerged as a significant threat to Myrtaceae in planted and natural …
Article scientifique
Jack, master or both? The invasive ladybird Harmonia axyridis performs better than a native coccinellid despite divergent trait plasticity
The plasticity of performance traits can promote the success of biological invasions and therefore, precisely estimating trait reaction norms can …
