  • Stakeholders' views on the global guidelines for the sustainable use of non‐native trees

    Open AccessAna Novoa, Giovanni Vimercati et al.ARTICLEPeople and Nature2024

    A large number of non‐native trees (NNTs) have been introduced globally and widely planted, contributing significantly to the world's economy. Although some of these species present a limited risk of spreading beyond their planting sites, a growing number of NNTs are spreading and becoming invasive leading to diverse negative impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem functions and human well‐being. To help minimize the negative impacts and maximize the …

  • Futures for invasive alien species management

    Open AccessJulia Van Velden, Reinette Biggs et al.ARTICLESustainability Science2023References: 14

    Invasive alien species (IAS) pose a key threat to biodiversity, the economy and human well-being, and continue to increase in abundance and impact worldwide. Legislation and policy currently dominate the global agenda for IAS, although translation to localised success may be limited. This calls for a wider range of responses to transform IAS management. An under-appreciated strategy to achieve success may come from bottom-up, experimental innovat…

  • Invading Ecological Networks

    Open AccessCang Hui, David M Richardson et al.BOOKInvading Ecological Networks2022

    Until now, biological invasions have been conceptualised and studied mainly as a linear process: from introduction to establishment to spread. This volume charts a new course for the field, drawing on key developments in network ecology and complexity science. It defines an agenda for Invasion Science 2.0 by providing new framings and classification of research topics and by offering tentative solutions to vexing problems. In particular, it conce…

  • Scientists' warning on invasive alien species

    Open AccessPetr Pyšek, Philip E Hulme et al.ARTICLEBiological Reviews2020

    Biological invasions are a global consequence of an increasingly connected world and the rise in human population size. The numbers of invasive alien species – the subset of alien species that spread widely in areas where they are not native, affecting the environment or human livelihoods – are increasing. Synergies with other global changes are exacerbating current invasions and facilitating new ones, thereby escalating the extent and impacts of…

  • Using the "regime shift" concept in addressing social-ecological change

    Open AccessChristian Kull, Christoph Kueffer et al.ARTICLEGeographical Research2018Cited by: 3References: 111

    Regime shift' has emerged as a key concept in the environmental sciences. The concept has roots in complexity science and its ecological applications, and is increasingly applied to intertwined social and ecological phenomena. Yet what exactly is a regime shift? We explore this question at three nested levels. First, we propose a broad, contingent, multi-perspective epistemological basis for the concept, seeking to build bridges between its compl…

  • Religious Deviance in the Roman World

    Open AccessJörg Rüpke, David M Richardson et al.BOOKReligious Deviance in the Roman…2016Cited by: 4References: 24

    Religious individuality is not restricted to modernity. This book offers a new reading of the ancient sources in order to find indications for the spectrum of religious practices and intensified forms of such practices only occasionally denounced as 'superstition'. Authors from Cicero in the first century BC to the law codes of the fourth century AD share the assumption that authentic and binding communication between individuals and gods is poss…

  • Naturalization and invasion of alien plants

    Open AccessDavid M Richardson, Petr Pyšek et al.ARTICLEDiversity and Distributions2000

    Much confusion exists in the English‐language literature on plant invasions concerning the terms ‘naturalized’ and ‘invasive’ and their associated concepts. Several authors have used these terms in proposing schemes for conceptualizing the sequence of events from introduction to invasion, but often imprecisely, erroneously or in contradictory ways. This greatly complicates the formulation of robust generalizations in invasion ecology. Based on an…

  • Automatic Processes in Database Building and Subsequent Automatic Abstractions

    D Richardson, David M RichardsonARTICLECartographica The International…1996

    One of the difficulties in building an effective system for spatial and attribute generalization is the predominance of the conventionally based generalization paradigm. This is exemplified by numerous attempts at reproducing rules derived from manual environments and re-building them in a GIS or CIS. What is often lacking is an understanding of what generalization achieves in its various forms. There is no doubt that the representation issue in …

    A technique is presented for determining and quantifying the functional importance of road segments in a road network, according to a set of source/destination ["source and destination"?] points that reflect the user's context. This technique is an important element in a scheme for the automatic structuring, classification, and coding of unstructured road data — necessary steps in creating a database to support contextually sensitive generalizati…
