We contend that the exclusive focus on English language in scientific research might hinder effective communication between scientists and practitioners or policy makers whose mother tongue is non-English. This barrier knowledge data transfer likely leads to significant gaps may create biases when providing global patterns many fields of science. To demonstrate this, we compiled economic costs invasive alien species reported 15 non-English languages. compared it with equivalent from...
Abstract Invasive ants are amongst the most destructive and widespread invaders across globe; they can strongly alter invaded ecosystems responsible for loss of native ant species. Several studies have reported that invasive also lead to substantial economic costs. In this study, we search, describe analyse 1342 costs compiled in InvaCost database. Economic costs, since 1930 12 species 27 countries, totalled US$ 51.93 billion, from which 10.95 billion were incurred, 40.98 potential (i.e.,...
ABSTRACT Standardised terminology in science is important for clarity of interpretation and communication. In invasion – a dynamic rapidly evolving discipline the proliferation technical has lacked standardised framework its development. The result convoluted inconsistent usage terminology, with various discrepancies descriptions damage interventions. A therefore needed clear, universally applicable, consistent to promote more effective communication across researchers, stakeholders,...
Invasive species have caused severe impacts on biodiversity and human society. Although the estimation of environmental by invasive has increased in recent years, economic losses associated with biological invasions are only sporadically estimated space time. In this study, we synthesized incurred Asia, based most comprehensive database costs worldwide, including 560 cost records for 88 22 countries. We also assessed differences across taxonomic groups, geographical regions impacted sectors,...
Urbanization is an important driver of global change associated with a set environmental modifications that affect the introduction and distribution invasive non-native species (species populations transported by humans beyond their natural biogeographic range established are spreading in introduced range; hereafter, species). These recognized as cause large ecological economic losses. Nevertheless, impacts these urban areas still poorly understood. Here we present synthesis reported costs...
We examined the distribution patterns of native animals on Amami-Oshima Island, southern Japan, along a historical gradient mongoose establishment and estimated effects fauna. To assess relative abundance various ground-dwelling animals, we used following four methods; sensor cameras for exotic mammals, nighttime driving census nocturnal vertebrates, line lizards, adhesive traps arthropods. The results indicated that seven species with larger body size, including birds, reptiles, amphibians,...
Abstract For maintaining social and financial support for eradication programs of invasive species, quantitative assessment recovery native species or ecosystems is important because it provides a measurable parameter success. However, setting concrete goal often difficult owing to lack information prior the introduction invaders. Here, we present novel approach evaluate achievement level predator management based on carrying capacity endangered estimated using long‐term monitoring data. In...
Despite the large body of knowledge recognising impact biological invasions on biodiversity, their economic has been less evaluated. However, associated costs ought to provide useful information many different aspects prevent and manage invasions. Here, we describe in Japan using InvaCost, a recently-published global database monetary extracted from English non-English sources, as well complementary search, thereby filling gap regional knowledge. We focused following four dimensions when...

Abstract It is important to unravel how invasive species impact native ecosystems in order control them effectively. The presence of abundant exotic prey promotes population growth predators, thereby enhancing the predation pressure on (hyper-predation). Not only but also feeding by humans likely cause “hyper-predation”. However, contribution artificial resources this was underestimated previous studies. Here, we combined fecal and stable isotope analyses reveal short- long-term food habits...
Abstract To reduce the risk of zoonoses, it is necessary to understand infection process, including ecology animals and vectors (i.e., ‘One Health’ approach). In temperate climates, ticks are major so factors determining their abundance, such as host mammal abundance microhabitat conditions, should be clarified. Sika deer (Cervus nippon) a tick rapidly expanding distribution in Japan. We established 12 plots along gradient sika Tochigi Prefecture, monitored occurrence species with camera...
Abstract Biological invasions represent a key threat to insular systems and have pronounced impacts across environments economies. The ecological received substantial focus, but the socioeconomic are poorly synthesized spatial temporal scales. We used InvaCost database, most comprehensive assessment of published economic costs invasive species, assess on islands worldwide. analyzed differing expenditure types examined trends that differ in their political geography—island nation states,...
Abstract Invasive ants are amongst the most destructive and widespread invaders across globe; they can strongly alter invaded ecosystems responsible for displacement of numerous native ant species. Several studies have reported that invasive lead to substantial economic costs. In this study, we search, describe analyze 1,621 costs using InvaCost database. Economic costs, since 1930 12 species in 27 countries, totaled US$ 56.92 billion. The largest were associated with two species, Solenopsis...
Fishing spiders, Dolomedes Latreille, 1804 (Pisauridae), are thought to be important predators in semi-aquatic ecosystems, but relatively few studies have investigated feeding ecology of Asian species. Here, we report on the diet Okinawan fishing spider, orion Tanikawa, 2003, largest cursorial spider Japan, based upon field observations Amami Oshima Island Kagoshima Prefecture and a literature review. A total 13 predation events were observed surveys 10 records found literature. Together,...
Abstract Understanding how invasive predators impact native species is essential for the development of effective control strategies, especially in insular environments where alternative non-native prey exist. We examined seasonal and spatial shifts diet feral cat Felis silvestris catus focusing on predation streaked shearwaters, Calonectris leucomelas , introduced rats, Rattus rattus R. norvegicus which are to Mikura Island, Japan. Streaked shearwaters breed at low elevations island from...
Several environmental factors have been reported to correlate with incidence of spontaneous subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). However, because different patient selection and study designs among these studies, meteorological that trigger the SAH in a short hazard period remain unknown. Among factors, daily temperature changes may disrupt violate homeostasis predispose cerebrovascular circulatory disturbances strokes. The authors aimed investigate whether decline from highest previous day lowest...
Abstract Invasive predators not only cause native prey populations to decline but can also induce evolutionary changes in their behaviour a short time scale. However, few studies have reported these rapid responses. This could be because strong predation pressure by invasive species often causes the extinction of before an effect detected. Recently, eradication projects successfully removed and resulted recovery prey. We predicted that responses detected evaluating behavioural traits having...
Abstract Wildlife populations on Amami Island, Japan, have been affected by forest clear-felling and the introduction of alien species, in particular mongoose Herpestes auropunctatus . We used monitoring data collected over 24 years to track changes population sizes five species mammals 20 birds. assigned following groups: indigenous, rare, insectivorous, negatively clear-cutting, invasion. examined trends each group at four time points between 1985 2010 using two methods: abundance...
