Beschreibung Invasive and Introduced Plants and Animals: Human Perceptions, Attitudes and Approaches to Management. There have been many well-publicized cases of invasive species of plants and animals, often introduced unintentionally but sometimes on purpose, causing widespread ecological havoc. Examples of such alien invasions include pernicious weeds such as Japanese knotweed, an introduced garden ornamental which can grow through concrete, the water hyacinth which has choked tropical waterways, and many introduced animals which have out-competed and displaced local fauna. This book addresses the broader context of invasive and exotic species, in terms of the perceived threats and environmental concerns which surround alien species and ecological invasions. As a result of unprecedented scales of environmental change, combined with rapid globalisation, the mixing of cultures and diversity, and fears over biosecurity and bioterrorism, the known impacts of particular invasions have been catastrophic. However, as several chapters show, reactions to some exotic species, and the justifications for interventions in certain situations, including biological control by introduced natural enemies, rest uncomfortably with social reactions to ethnic cleansing and persecution perpetrated across the globe. The role of democracy in deciding and determining environmental policy is another emerging issue. In an increasingly multicultural society this raises huge questions of ethics and choice. At the same time, in order to redress major ecological losses, the science of reintroduction of native species has also come to the fore, and is widely accepted by many in nature conservation. However, with questions of where and when, and with what species or even species analogues, reintroductions are acceptable, the topic is hotly debated. Again, it is shown that many decisions are based on values and perceptions rather than objective science. Including a wide range of case studies from around the world, his book raises critical issues to stimulate a much wider debate.

Animals and Human Society / ScienceDirect ~ Invasive species are animals or plants that are nonnative to the region that were introduced by human intervention. Invasive species are animals and plants introduced by human activities as follows: (1) accidentally as âstowawaysâ on ships (rats and mice) and planes (brown tree snakes) or following escape from captivity (e.g., gray squirrels in the United Kingdom) or thoughtlessly released .
Incorporating Aboriginal peopleâs perceptions of ~ In the early 1990s, Rose (1995) conducted a landmark study for the Central Land Council (CLC) on Aboriginal attitudes and perceptions of environmental land management issues, including feral animals. According to Rose, Aboriginal peopleâs views on feral animals were relatively homogenous. He found that although people recognised that feral animals such as the camel were introduced, they .

Management and control methods of invasive alien ~ Introduced invasive alien aquatic plants (IAAPs) threaten ecosystems due to their excessive growth and have both ecological and economic impacts. To minimize these impacts, effective management of IAAPs is required according to national or international laws and regulations (e.g. the new EU regulation 1143/2014). Prevention of the introduction of IAAPs is considered the most cost effective .

(PDF) March 2011, âFire and Loathing in the Fynbosâ, in I ~ In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, botanists in South Africaâs Western Cape felt hard pressed to popularise and protect the unique indigenous Fynbos flora of the region. They saw themselves ranged against the extensive
Diverse public perceptions of species' status and ~ However, there has been limited research on the social dimensions (including public perceptions) of invasive species management, either in Australia or globally (Estévez et al., 2015), despite the utility of such information to inform conservation decisions in regions where native and introduced species are perceived to be in conflict. In the current study of Australian residents, we sought .
The Human and Social Dimensions of Invasion Science and ~ Humans introduce invasive alien species and may facilitate their establishment and spread, which can alter ecosystem services, livelihoods, and human well-being. People perceive the benefits and costs of these species through the lens of diverse value systems; these perspectives influence decisions about when and where to manage them. Despite the entanglement of humans with invasive alien .
The progress of interdisciplinarity in invasion science ~ Interdisciplinarity is needed to gain knowledge of the ecology of invasive species and invaded ecosystems, and of the human dimensions of biological invasions. We combine a quantitative literature review with a qualitative historical narrative to document the progress of interdisciplinarity in invasion science since 1950. Our review shows that 92.4% of interdisciplinary publications (out of .

Knowledge, perceptions and willingness to control ~ Many biological invasions result in negative impacts on the environment and human livelihoods, but simultaneously some also provide benefits that are valued differently by various stakeholders. To inform policy and management of invasive species it is important to assess landownersâ and broader societyâs knowledge and perceptions of invasive species, something which is lacking in many .
Stakeholder perceptions and practices regarding Prosopis ~ Invasive alien trees impact the environment and human livelihoods. The human dimensions of such invasions are less well understood than the ecological aspects, and this is hindering the development of effective management strategies.

International news media framing of invasive rodent ~ Invasive rodents threaten global island biodiversity and have been eradicated from hundreds of islands. Eradication efforts can be contentious due to animal welfare concerns and risk to non-target species. The news media plays a critical role by providing context for eradications. To better understand how the news media frame invasive rodent eradications, we conducted a thematic content .

FAQs - Invasive Species - U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service ~ An invasive species is an exotic species whose introduction into an ecosystem in which the species is not native causes or is likely to cause environmental or economic harm or harm to human health. It is important to note that when we talk about a species being invasive, we are talking about ecosystem or environmental boundaries, not political ones. In addition to the many invasive species .
