Potential distribution, observed impacts, and invasion risk of two non-native s...
Nerozzi, Iacopo; Soto, Ismael; Vimercati, Giovanni; Capinha, César; Tarkan, Ali Serhan; Kraus, Fred; Haubrock, Phillip J.; Pauwels, Olivier S. G.Among reptiles, turtles are the most frequently traded species and often released in the wild once they become unwanted as pets. The common snapping turtle Chelydra serpentina and the alligator snapping turtle Macrochelys temminckii are freshwater turtles native to North America. Although their trade is regulated in some countries, they have been introduced worldwide as pets. While C. serpentina has established...
Consistency of impact assessment protocols for non-native species
González-Moreno, Pablo; Lazzaro, Lorenzo; Vilà, Montserrat; Preda, Cristina; Adriaens, Tim; Bacher, Sven; Brundu, Giuseppe; Copp, Gordon H.; Essl, FranzStandardized tools are needed to identify and prioritize the most harmful non-native species (NNS). A plethora of assessment protocols have been developed to evaluate the current and potential impacts of non-native species, but consistency among them has received limited attention. To estimate the consistency across impact assessment protocols, 89 specialists in biological invasions used 11 protocols to screen ...
A global review and meta-analysis of applications of the freshwater Fish Invasi...
Vilizzi, Lorenzo; Copp, Gordon H.; Adamovich, Boris; Almeida, David; Chan, Joleen; Davison, Phil I.; Dembski, Samuel; Ekmekçi, F. Güler; Ferincz, ÁrpádThe freshwater Fish Invasiveness Screening Kit (FISK) has been applied in 35 risk assessment areas in 45 countries across the six inhabited continents (11 applications using FISK v1; 25 using FISK v2). The present study aimed: to assess the breadth of FISK applications and the confidence (certainty) levels associated with the decision-support tool’s 49 questions and its ability to distinguish between taxa of lo...
