Efficacy of micafungin in invasive candidiasis caused by common Candida species with special emphasis on non-albicans Candida species Universiteit Gent
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 ...
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 ...
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) ...
A preliminary overview of the diversity of species of Agave (Century Plant) as potentially invasive species in the Canary Islands Plantentuin Meise / Agentschap Plantentuin Meise
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 ...
Does temperature-mediated reproductive success drive the direction of species displacement in two invasive species of leafminer fly? Universiteit Gent
Trans-national horizon scanning for invasive non-native species : a case study in western Europe Universiteit Gent
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. ...
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 ...
