Managing an invasive tree in coastal dunes: The importance of follow-up treatme...
Duarte, Liliana Neto; Marchante, Elizabete; Marchante, HéliaConservation of biodiversity in protected areas is often threatened by invasive alien plants (IAPs), and its successful management requires proper planning, resources, and monitoring to adjust future interventions. Although follow-up controls and evaluation of different management actions through monitoring programs are crucial in an adaptive management strategy, they are often neglected. Acacia longifolia is o...
Supporting the spatial management of invasive alien plants through assessment o...
Machado, Rui; Duarte, Liliana Neto; Gil, Artur; Sousa-Neves, Nuno; Pirnat, Janez; Santos, PedroInvasive alien species are responsible for several negative impacts worldwide. Managing biological invasions is often difficult and the success rate is quite low, but with good planning it is possible to achieve good results. Besides employing the correct methods and techniques, an overall strategy based on landscape dynamics and expected spatial patterns can be fundamental to achieve success. The decision of w...

Establishment, spread and early impacts of the first biocontrol agent against a...
López-Núñez, Francisco Alejandro; Marchante, Elizabete; Heleno, Ruben; Duarte, Liliana Neto; Palhas, Jael; Impson, Fiona; Freitas, HelenaClassical biocontrol is key for the successful management of invasive alien plants; yet, it is still relatively new in Europe. Although post-release monitoring is essential to evaluate the effectiveness of a biocontrol agent, it is often neglected. This study reports the detailed post-release monitoring of the first biocontrol agent intentionally introduced against an invasive plant in continental Europe. The A...
Plantas invasoras no sul de Portugal: uma abordagem biogeográfica
Duarte, Liliana NetoAs espécies invasoras são uma das principais ameaças à biodiversidade causando impactes ecológicos, económicos e nos serviços dos ecossistemas. O conhecimento conjunto da dinâmica das séries de vegetação e da ecologia das plantas invasoras é uma ferramenta útil na recuperação ecológica de áreas invadidas e na prevenção de invasões. Este trabalho tem como objectivo principal averiguar a relação entre a distribui...
