Stakeholder engagement in the study and management of invasive alien species Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek
Appendices on regional conditions - A manual for the management of vertebrate invasive alien species of Union concern, incorporating animal welfare. 1st Edition. Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek
Assessment of current and future invasive plants in protected dune habitats of the Atlantic coastal region - Including management accounts of selected species for the LIFE DUNIAS project (LIFE20 NAT/BE/001442) Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek
Dit rapport bundelt de resultaten van een workshop van het INBO en LIFE DUNIAS rond invasieve vegetatie in Atlantische duinen en schorren. Via een systematische risicoscreening (horizon scan) op meer dan 1300 uitheemse plantensoorten, identificeerden experten de meest prioritaire soorten die een ernstige ecologische impact (kunnen) hebben op de Europees beschermde habitats van Atlantische duinen en schorren. Deze lijst kan doorwerken via ...

Invasion and management of alien Hedychium gardnerianum (kahili ginger, Zingiberaceae) alter plant species composition of a montane rainforest on the island of Hawai’i Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Hedychium gardnerianum is a major invader of native Hawaiian forests and suspected of smothering native understory species and preventing native tree seedlings’ establishment. In this study, effects on species composition in six vegetation layers of a Hawaiian rainforest were examined (Tree Layer 1, Tree Layer 2, Fern-Shrub Layer, Herb Layer, Bryophyte–Herb Layer, and Bryophyte Layer). Three different area types were compared, which included (i) ...
Assessing the assessments : evaluation of four impact assessment protocols for invasive alien species Universiteit Gent Universiteit Antwerpen
Aim Effective policy and management responses to the multiple threats posed by invasive alien species (IAS) rely on the ability to assess their impacts before conclusive empirical evidence is available. A plethora of different IAS risk and/or impact assessment protocols have been proposed, but it remains unclear whether, how and why the outcomes of such assessment protocols may differ. Location Europe. Methods Here, we present an in-depth ...
Genetic Biocontrol for Invasive Species Universiteit Hasselt
Invasive species are increasingly affecting agriculture, food, fisheries, and forestry resources throughout the world. As a result of global trade, invasive species are often introduced into new environments where they become established and cause harm to human health, agriculture, and the environment. Prevention of new introductions is a high priority for addressing the harm caused by invasive species, but unfortunately efforts to prevent new ...
Invasive Alien Species in Belgian marine waters: an information platform and checklist for science and policy support Vlaams Instituut voor de Zee
- Since 2006, the ‘VLIZ Alien Species Consortium’ has collected data and information on species that were introduced by humans in marine and brackish habitats and have established reproducing populations in the study area. The consortium consists of a network of experts in marine and brackish environments in Belgium, representing more than 22 different institutions and supported by a secretariat hosted at Flanders Marine Institute VLIZ. ...
From a long-distance threat to the invasion front: a review of the invasive Aedes mosquito species in Belgium between 2007 and 2020 Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
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 ...
