Abstract Managing the impacts of invasive alien species (IAS) is a great societal challenge. A wide variety terms have been used to describe management and sequence in which they might be applied. This lack consistency creates uncertainty presentation description policy, science practice. Here we expand on existing invasion process develop an IAS framework. We define different forms active using novel approach based changes status, avoiding need for stand-alone descriptions types, provide...

Biological invasions are a major threat to biodiversity, ecosystem functioning and nature's contributions people worldwide. However, the effectiveness of invasive alien species (IAS) management measures progress toward achieving biodiversity targets remain uncertain due limited nonuniform data availability. Management success is usually assessed at local level documented in technical reports, often written languages other than English, which makes such notoriously difficult collect large...
Reversing biodiversity loss and the sustainability crisis requires approaches that explicitly consider human-nature interdependencies. Social-ecological networks (SENs), which incorporate social ecological actors entities as well their interactions, are such an approach. SENs have been applied to a range of complex issues, sustainable resource use, management ecosystem (dis-)services, collective action. However, application field invasion science has remained limited so far, despite clear...
A collective understanding of economic impacts and in particular monetary costs biological invasions is lacking for the Nordic region. This paper synthesizes findings from literature on countries together with expert elicitation. The analysis cost data has been made possible through InvaCost database, a globally open repository that allows use temporal, spatial, taxonomic descriptors facilitating better how are distributed. total reported invasive species across were estimated at $8.35...
Invasive alien species are among the major drivers of biodiversity loss, being destructive to native ecosystems, and human economy well-being. Despite their severe negative impact, tracking paths biological invasions distribution dynamics invasive species, as well assessing scope character interactions with resident can be difficult. An interesting case is naturalization American mink in Iceland, subsequent intensive culling accurate registration number killed by year area, providing...
Interactions between killer whales ( Orcinus orca (Linnaeus, 1758)) and long-finned pilot Globicephala melas (Traill, 1809)) have been documented on numerous occasions, usually involving predation events pursuits. Here, the first account of a whale calf seen in echelon position with one group three is described, along further interaction same other whales. Behavioral, locational, photographic data were recorded analyzed for 2011 2022 2019 off West Iceland. The used to obtain background...
Abstract Divergence in the face of high dispersal capabilities is a documented but poorly understood phenomenon. The white‐tailed eagle ( Haliaeetus albicilla ) has large geographic capability and should theoretically be able to maintain genetic homogeneity across its range. However, following analysis genomic variation eagles, from both historical contemporary samples, clear signatures ancient biogeographic substructure Europe North‐East Atlantic observed. greatest differentiation was...
Using whole mitochondrial DNA sequences from 89 white-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) sampled Iceland, Greenland, Norway, Denmark and Estonia between 1990-2018, we investigate the mitogenomic variation within countries. We show that there is a substantial population differentiation countries, reflecting similar major phylogeographic patterns obtained previously for control region of mitochondria, which suggested two main refugia during last glacial period Ice Age. Distinct lineages are...
Background Recurring escapes or deliberate releases and subsequent infiltration establishment of feral populations by individuals from fur farms have been commonly noted since the beginning industry expansion. Once animals invaded ecosystems adjacent to source escapees can change demography through hybridization, outbreeding depression, competition spreading various pathogens which decimate wild populations. In our study, we aimed assess spread Aleutian mink disease virus (AMDV) in...
American mink Neovison vison is one of the most harmful non-indigenous species in Iceland and has been proven to be a useful indirect bioindicator biomonitor for numerous environmental pollutants. Therefore, main objective study was determine total nickel concentration spleen 35 females 30 males obtained from Brokey archipelago south coast Hvammsfjörður (Dalabyggð, Iceland) using graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy. We also assessed correlation between selected anatomical...

Using whole genome shotgun sequences from 92 white-tailed eagles (Haliaeetus albicilla) sampled Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, and Turkey between 1885-1950 after 1990, we investigate the genomic variation within countries over time, countries. Clear genetic differentiation is observed samples different countries, with largest differences island mainland populations, indications that populations share most recent ancestry Norwegian population. We find signs of strong inbreeding...
