In 2003, the U.S. Dept. of Ag. initiated the Program of Research on the Econ. of Invasive Species Mgmt. (PREISM) to examine the economics of managing invasive pests in increasingly global ag. markets. Invasive species are defined to include any vertebrate, invertebrate, weed, fungus, plant disease, livestock disease, or other organism that meets the following criteria: Is non-native, alien, or exotic to the ecosystem where it exists or potentially could be introduced -- incl. ag., range, and forest ecosystems; and when introduced, causes, or is likely to cause, economic or environ. harm. PREISM¿s will build a high-quality, multidisciplinary research program to provide analytically based principles, guidelines, and criteria for invasive species policy. Ill.

There is no doubt that the phenomenon we now call globalization has brought many benefits to the citizens of our heterogeneous world. Inter alia, this phenomenon has resulted in the increased mobility of humans, goods, and services from one part of the world to another. International trade in both final goods and services and in various factors of production has risen, and this rise has generally seen the welfare improving for all the involved parties. This rise in international trade in particular and of mobility more generally has also led to the spread of all manner of animals, plants, and other organisms from places where they are native to new locales, where they are not. As noted by Vitousek et al. (1997), Mooney (1999), and others, it is salient to comprehend that although this movement and spread of animal and plant species from one part of the world to another predates the modern era of globalization, the phenomenon of globalization has accelerated this mobility. Animal and plant species that have moved from a part of the world where they are native to another part of the world where they are not are said to be invasive species. Such species are also referred to as "alien," as "exotic," and as "non-native" species. For the purpose of consistency, we shall use the term "invasive," in this chapter. Olson (2006) points out that this movement of animal and plant species can occur naturally, as a result of specific ecological processes or as a result of deliberate human activity. In addition, even if we restrict attention to invasive species introductions that are the result of conscious human activity, such introductions can be either intentional or unintentional in nature. Humans have been intentionally introducing animal and plant species into parts of the world where they are not native, for many decades. These intentional introductions broadly fall into two categories. The first category consists of introductions that are largely ornamental in nature. Exotic pets such as fish, parrots, and all manner of orchids readily come to mind. The second category is made up of introductions that form the basis of what is now known as biological control. The basic objective here is to use a specific animal or plant species that is a predator of another prey species whose population is sought to be controlled. McConnachie et al. (2003) review ten benefit-cost studies of biological control programs and note that such programs can be very successful. However, the work of Nogales et al. (2004) shows that biological control programs can also go awry and give rise to unintended consequences. Most countries today have protocols for dealing with the intentional introductions of invasive species, although it should not go unsaid that the quality and the effectiveness of these protocols vary considerably.

This open access book describes the serious threat of invasive species to native ecosystems. Invasive species have caused and will continue to cause enormous ecological and economic damage with ever increasing world trade. This multi-disciplinary book, written by over 100 national experts, presents the latest research on a wide range of natural science and social science fields that explore the ecology, impacts, and practical tools for management of invasive species. It covers species of all taxonomic groups from insects and pathogens, to plants, vertebrates, and aquatic organisms that impact a diversity of habitats in forests, rangelands and grasslands of the United States. It is well-illustrated, provides summaries of the most important invasive species and issues impacting all regions of the country, and includes a comprehensive primary reference list for each topic. This scientific synthesis provides the cultural, economic, scientific and social context for addressing environmental challenges posed by invasive species and will be a valuable resource for scholars, policy makers, natural resource managers and practitioners.

Biological invasions are one of the strongest drivers of global environmental change, and invasive species are now often in the public discourse. At the same time, economists have begun to take a real interest in determining how invasive species interact with economic systems, and how invaders should be controlled to optimize societal wealth. Although the work from ecologists and economists have both greatly expanded our understanding of the drivers and impacts of invasions, little integration between the fields has occurred that would allow managers and policy-makers to identify the optical expenditures on, for example, prevention and control of invasive species. Because the level of effort expended on invasive species management is intricately linked to the costs and projected benefits of that management, there is an urgent need for greater synthesis between ecology and economics. This book brings ecology and economics together in new ways to address how we deal with the dynamics and impacts of invasive species, and is the outcome fo many years of collaborative research between a small group of economists and ecologists. The outcome is clear demonstration of the utility of combining ecological and economic models for addressing critical questions in the management of invasive species.

Invasive species are among the greatest challenges to environmental sustainability and agricultural productivity in the world. One of the most promising approaches to managing invasive species is voluntary citizen stewardship. However, in order for control measures to be effective, private citizens often need to make sustained and sometimes burdensome commitments. Community-Based Control of Invasive Species is based on five years of research by leading scholars in natural resource and human behavioural sciences, which involved government and citizen groups in Australia and the United States. It examines questions including, 'how can citizens be engaged in voluntarily managing invasive species?', 'what communication strategies will ensure good motivation and coordination?' and 'how can governing bodies support citizens in their efforts?'. With chapters on institutional frameworks, changing governance, systems thinking, organisational learning, engagement, communication and behavioural change, this book will be a valuable reference for researchers and practitioners involved in natural resources management.

Invasive alien species are a major and growing threat to biodiversity worldwide. The transport of organisms through increased levels of trade and tourism is leading to the widespread breaching of natural biogeographic barriers at unprecedented rates. Consequences can be severe, especially in naturally isolated ecosystems. Invasive alien species can cause the extinction of vulnerable endemic species, alter the structure and composition of communities, disrupt successional pathways, and lead to the loss of ecosystem services. Global climate change may further exacerbate the spread of alien species, as climatic zones shift and potential ranges alter. The effective management of invasive alien species is clearly a priority for biological conservation worldwide. This book first provides strategies for managing such species at successive invasion stages, from prevention at the border to control of major infestations. It then describes the general tools and approaches that are recommended for successful management of particular groups of invasive organisms in a range of environments. In each case, the ecological basis and practical requirements of invasive alien species management are addressed. This integration of proven techniques and policies will be useful to a wide readership of students, academics, conservation practitioners, invasive species managers, legislators, and to the broader community concerned with biological conservation.
