Typology of the ecological impacts of biological invasions
Carneiro, Laís; Leroy, Boris; Capinha, César; Bradshaw, Corey J.A.; Bertolino, Sandro; Catford, Jane A.; Camacho-Cervantes, Morelia; Bojko, JamieBiological invasions alter ecosystems by disrupting ecological processes that can degrade biodiversity, harm human health, and cause massive economic burdens. Existing frameworks to classify the ecological impacts either miss many types of impact or conflate mechanisms (causes) with the impacts themselves (consequences). We propose a comprehensive typology of 19 types of ecological impact across six levels of e...

Challenges and perspectives on tackling illegal or unsustainable wildlife trade
Fukushima, Caroline S.; Tricorache, Patricia; Toomes, Adam; Stringham, Oliver C.; Rivera-Téllez, Emmanuel; Ripple, William J.; Peters, GretchenIllegal or unsustainable wildlife trade (IUWT) currently presents one of the most high-profile conservation challenges. There is no “one-size-fits-all” strategy, and a variety of disciplines and actors are needed for any counteractive approach to work effectively. Here, we detail common challenges faced when tackling IUWT, and we describe some available tools and technologies to curb and track IUWT (e.g. bans, ...
Global Actions for Managing Cactus Invasions
Novoa, Ana; Brundu, Giuseppe; Day, Michael D.; Deltoro, Vicente; Essl, Franz; Foxcroft, Llewellyn C.; Fried, Guillaume; Kaplan, HayleeThe family Cactaceae Juss. contains some of the most widespread and damaging invasive alien plant species in the world, with Australia (39 species), South Africa (35) and Spain (24) being the main hotspots of invasion. The Global Cactus Working Group (IOBC GCWG) was launched in 2015 to improve international collaboration and identify key actions that can be taken to limit the impacts caused by cactus invasions ...
