Global biodiversity loss is disproportionately rapid on islands, where invasive species are a
major driver of extinctions. To inform conservation planning aimed at preventing extinctions …

Invasive species have reshaped the composition of biomes across the globe, and
considerable cost is now associated with minimising their ecological, social and economic …

Invasive species threaten biodiversity globally, and invasive mammalian predators are
particularly damaging, having contributed to considerable species decline and extinction …

Feral cats are among the most damaging invasive species worldwide, and are implicated in
many extinctions, especially in Australia, New Zealand and other islands. Understanding …

Large-scale invasive species control initiatives are motivated by laudable desires for native
species recovery and economic benefits, but they are not without risk. Management …

The eradication of invasive species from islands is an important part of managing these
ecologically unique and at‐risk regions. Island eradications are complex projects and …

Interactions between threatening processes and their effects on biodiversity are a major
focus of ecological research and management. Threat interactions arise when threats or …

The mesopredator release theory predicts that the density of subordinate predators will
increase as dominant predators decline. Persistent debate around mesopredator release in …

Introducing a new or extirpated species to an ecosystem is risky, and managers need
quantitative methods that can predict the consequences for the recipient ecosystem …

Government agencies develop invasive species management programmes assuming early
detection is key to successful management. Some theoretical studies confirm this intuition …
