Avaluació de la utilitat de les arpes elèctriques per reduir la pressió de la vespa asiàtica en explotacions apícoles (VELUTINA) La vespa asiàtica (Vespa velutina ssp. nigrithorax) és una espècie invasora originària de la Xina. Es va introduir accidentalment a França l’any 2004 mitjançant el transport de mercaderies i s’ha estès fins ara a 8…
Developing scenarios for the management of biological invasions at the European level Most research related to biological invasions is dominated by studies from the field of invasion ecology, although there is growing interest in developing more problem-oriented research, where synergies and links are formed between multiple disciplines to guide policy-development. AlienScenarios is a three-years international…
In the middle of the 20th century, the South of the Madres and Mont Coronat massif (Eastern Pyrenees, France) were characterised by a Mediterranean cultural landscape shaped by human activity. The long-term use of these mountains for crops, livestock and forestry had increased grassland areas at the expense of forest. However, social transformation (agriculture abandonment…
We formulated predictions of the distribution of the highly invasive Argentine ant (Linepithema humile) at multiple spatial scales by means of species distribution models. Subsequently, I refined those results by incorporating information on the species’ dispersal capacity within a spread model, and also investigated the relative roles of abiotic, biotic and human-related factors on the…
We develop a decision-making tool for the management of invasive alien trees in the Cape Floristic Region (South Africa). We conducted numerous interviews and workshops with managers in order to understand how management actions take place and what the most influential variables are. This information was used to design of a prioritization tool, subsequently incorporated…
