A Program to Eradicate Twenty-Four Nonnative Invasive Plant Species from Santa Cruz Island

Argentine Ant Management in Conservation Areas: Results of a Pilot Study

“…The detection methods we employed allowed us to search for novel species in addition to the 2014] BIOSECURITY ON ISLANDS 417 In 2010-2011, we conducted a search for new target invasive populations concurrently with our annual remote weed eradication efforts (Cory and Knapp 2014). We accessed known populations of target weed species via helicopter.…”

“…Numerous native species have benefited from these restoration efforts (e.g., Corry and McEachern 2009, Sillett et al 2012, Coonan et al 2014, which represent substantial investments of time and funds. TNC and NPS have committed to implement biosecurity protocols to protect that investment and the resulting conservation gains and also to control the spread of invasive species to unaffected island sites and reduce the risk of reinfestation from the mainland (Boser et al 2014, Cory andKnapp, 2014).…”

Strategies for Biosecurity on a Nearshore Island in California

“…Numerous native species have benefited from these restoration efforts (e.g., Corry and McEachern 2009, Sillett et al 2012, Coonan et al 2014, which represent substantial investments of time and funds. TNC and NPS have committed to implement biosecurity protocols to protect that investment and the resulting conservation gains and 2014] BIOSECURITY ON ISLANDS also to control the spread of invasive species to unaffected island sites and reduce the risk of reinfestation from the mainland (Boser et al 2014, Cory andKnapp, 2014). Proactive biosecurity efforts underway on Santa Cruz Island for nearly a decade have prioritized protocols that seek to prevent the establishment or spread of species considered most threatening to island-wide recovery.…”

Invasive potential and management of naturalised ornamentals across an urban environmental gradient with a focus on Centranthus ruber

“…These characteristics suggest that the species is pre-adapted in its naturalised range to colonise open areas that have been cleared of vegetation through natural or unnatural disturbances. It is naturalised in many countries, including Australia (Mattana et al 2010), New Zealand (Wotherspoon & Wotherspoon 2002), Argentina (Delucchi 2013), USA (California [Cory & Knapp 2014], Hawaii [Starr, Starr & Loope 2003]) and the British Isles (Gardner & Burningham 2013;Williamson 2002).…”
