Efficacy of micafungin in invasive candidiasis caused by common Candida species with special emphasis on non-albicans Candida species Ghent University
From a long-distance threat to the invasion front: a review of the invasive Aedes mosquito species in Belgium between 2007 and 2020 Institute of Tropical Medicine
Invasive mosquito species (IMS) and their associated mosquito-borne diseases are emerging in Europe. In Belgium, the first detection of Aedes albopictus (Skuse 1894) occurred in 2000 and of Aedes japonicus japonicus (Theobald 1901) in 2002. Early detection and control of these IMS at points of entry (PoEs) are of paramount importance to slow down any possible establishment. This article reviews the introductions and establishments recorded of ...
Hyperspectral time series analysis for detecting invasive tree species in Hawaiian rainforests KU Leuven
The unique ecosystems of the Hawaiian Islands are progressively being threatened following the introduction of exotic species. Operational implementation of remote sensing for the detection, mapping and monitoring of these biological invasions is currently hampered by a lack of knowledge on the spectral separability between native and invasive species. We used spaceborne imaging spectroscopy to analyze the seasonal dynamics of the canopy ...
Risk assessment for Myiopsitta monachus (Linnaeus, 1758), monk parakeet: risk assessment developed under the "Study on Invasive Alien Species – Development of risk assessments to tackle priority species and enhance prevention" Contract No 090201/2021/8567 Research Institute for Nature and Forest
Providing evidence-based and scientifically robust risk assessments, as foreseen under Article 5 of the Regulation (EU) 1143/2014 on the prevention and management of the introduction and spread of invasive alien species (IAS), is one step in the process of developing the list of IAS of Union concern. The aim of the current study is to develop such risk assessments alongside evidence on management measures and their implementation cost and ...
The influence of an invasive plant species on the pollination success and reproductive output of three riparian plant species KU Leuven
Besides competition for abiotic resources, an increasing number of studies show evidence of the effects of invasive species on the pollination success and reproductive output of indigenous species. We studied the effect of the invasive Impatiens glandulifera Royle on the process of reproduction in the indigenous Lythrum salicaria L. and Alisma plantago-aquatica L. and the naturalized Oenothera biennis L. The latter three species (target species) ...
Risk assessment for Sika deer (Cervus nippon): risk assessment developed under the "Study on Invasive Alien Species – Development of risk assessments to tackle priority species and enhance prevention" Contract No 07.0202/2019/812602/ETU/ENV.D.21 Research Institute for Nature and Forest

Risk assessment for Acridotheres cristatellus (Linnaeus, 1758): risk assessment developed under the "Study on Invasive Alien Species – Development of risk assessments to tackle priority species and enhance prevention" Contract No 07.0202/2019/812602/ETU/E Research Institute for Nature and Forest
A preliminary overview of the diversity of species of Agave (Century Plant) as potentially invasive species in the Canary Islands Meise Botanic Garden
The Canary Islands have an extraordinary endemic flora that includes a high number of often tiny succulents that are adapted to the local xeric climate. In recent times, however, the composition of the local succulent flora dramatically changed: some of the native species are at risk and are increasingly replaced by taller, aggressive alien succulents, from families such as Cactaceae and Agavaceae. Agave L. is a New World genus, growing ...
