“…Resource management strategies can be improved, whether through research findings (e.g., Pattengill-Semmens and Semmens 2003, Rosenberg et al 2003, Hamel et al 2009, Campbell and Godfrey 2010, responsiveness to stakeholder knowledge and values (e.g., Bird et al 2003, Cheng et al 2008, strategically targeted interventions (Danielsen et al 2010), monitoring for adaptive management on both public and private lands (e.g., , FernandezGimenez et al 2008, or rapid detection of and direct response to environmental problems (e.g., Simpson et al 2009). Many community-based monitoring and environmental justice projects may in fact start with social-ecological outcomes in mind before deciding that a PPSR approach would be effective to these ends.…”

“…As just a few examples, PPSR projects have advanced scientific understandings about: trends in species ranges, distributions, abundances, and diversity (e.g., Root et al 1981, Batalden et al 2007, Crimmins et al 2008, Senko et al 2010; the spread of disease (e.g., Hochachka et al 2004, Lindsey et al 2009) and of invasive species (e.g., , Simpson et al 2009; changes in life-cycle events (e.g., Torti andDunn 2005, Wolfe et al 2005), as well as implications of such changes for aspects of human health (e.g., van Vliet et al 2002, Bigham et al 2009). Projects have also yielded innovative and enhanced techniques for collecting, analyzing, managing, and networking data (e.g., Baker and Oeschger 2009, Crall et al 2010, Fink et al 2010.…”

ABSTRACT. Members of the public participate in scientific research in many different contexts, stemming from traditions as varied as participatory action research and citizen science. Particularly in conservation and natural resource management contexts, where research often addresses complex social-ecological questions, the emphasis on and nature of this participation can significantly affect both the way that projects are designed and the outcomes that projects achieve. We review and integrate recent work in these and other fields, which has converged such that we propose the term public participation in scientific research (PPSR) to discuss initiatives from diverse fields and traditions. We describe three predominant models of PPSR and call upon case studies suggesting that-regardless of the research context-project outcomes are influenced by (1) the degree of public participation in the research process and (2) the quality of public participation as negotiated during project design. To illustrate relationships between the quality of participation and outcomes, we offer a framework that considers how scientific and public interests are negotiated for project design toward multiple, integrated goals. We suggest that this framework and models, used in tandem, can support deliberate design of PPSR efforts that will enhance their outcomes for scientific research, individual participants, and social-ecological systems.

“…Given the above challenges, countries implement approaches against IS based on early detection-rapid response strategies (Mehta et al 2007, Rabaglia et al 2008, Simpson et al 2009, Britton et al 2010. These strategies include the following components: a) detection networks including syndromic surveillance; b) research and training; c) stakeholder participation; d) integration of technologies to facilitate detection and communication of knowledge, skills, and data; and e) taxonomic support, including availability of voucher specimens and authoritative verifications (National Invasive Species Council 2003).…”

Understanding trade pathways to target biosecurity surveillance

Increasing trends in global trade make it extremely difficult to prevent the entry of all potential invasive species (IS). Establishing early detection strategies thus becomes an important part of the continuum used to reduce the introduction of invasive species. One part necessary to ensure the success of these strategies is the determination of priority survey areas based on invasion pressure. We used a pathway-centred conceptual model of pest invasion to address these questions: what role does global trade play in invasion pressure of plant ecosystems and how could an understanding of this role be used to enhance early detection strategies? We concluded that the relative level of invasion pressure for destination ecosystems can be influenced by the intensity of pathway usage (import volume and frequency), the number and type of pathways with a similar destination, and the number of different ecological regions that serve as the source for imports to the same destination. As these factors increase, pressure typically intensifies because of increasing a) propagule pressure, b) likelihood of transporting pests with higher intrinsic invasion potential, and c) likelihood of transporting pests into ecosystems with higher invasibility. We used maritime containerized imports of live plants into the contiguous U.S. as a case study to illustrate the practical implications of the model to determine hotspot areas of relative invasion pressure for agricultural and forest ecosystems (two ecosystems with high potential invasibility). Our results illustrated the importance of how a pathway-centred model could be used to highlight potential target areas for early detection strategies for IS. Many of the hotspots in agricultural and forest ecosystems were within major U.S. metropolitan areas. Invasion ecologists can utilize pathway-centred conceptual models to a) better understand the role of human-mediated pathways in pest establishment, b) enhance current methodologies for IS risk analysis, and c) develop strategies for IS early detection-rapid response programs.

Registry of non-native species in the Two Seas region countries (Great Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands)

This dataset represents a registry of species that are not native but recorded to live in the wild of at least one of the four countries that comprise the Two Seas Area, i.e. Great Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands. For each of the 6,661 species, subspecies and hybrids listed, we provide detailed information on its status in each country, taxonomic affiliation and environment inhabited. The data were collected by review of 36 web-and print-based sources over an eight-month period. Further systematic scanning of three of the most relevant scientific journals, i.e. Neobiota, Aquatic Invasions and BioInvasions Records, recovered 19 additional relevant publications from which information was included in the registry. As a result, the registry will serve as a basis for developing effective, cross-boundary strategies to manage and control non-native species, which can have severe ecological and economic impacts. The registry can further be used as a general reference for both scientists and practitioners, as well as a tool to assess reliability and comprehensiveness of other well-known databases such as the DAISIE portal.
