“…Given the rapid increase in shipping international cargo inside containers, which are seldom opened until they reach their final destination, there will likely be a shift in the locations where exotic insects first become established from near ports of entry to distribution centers throughout the country. Stanaway et al (2001) found insects, both dead and alive, in 39% of 3001 shipping containers that were inspected in Australia.…”

In addition, summary interception data are presented for the wood-associated beetles in the families Bostrichidae, Buprestidae, Cerambycidae, Curculionidae, Lyctidae, Platypodidae, and Scolytidae, based on the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service "Port Information Network" database for plant pests intercepted at US ports of entry from 1985 to 2000. Wood-associated insects were most often intercepted on crating, followed by dunnage and pallets. The five imported products most often associated with these 8341 interceptions were tiles, machinery, marble, steel, and ironware. A significantly higher proportion of the most frequently intercepted true bark beetles have become established in the United States compared with the less frequently intercepted species.Résumé : L'auteur présente des données sommaires au sujet des 25 nouvelles espèces exotiques de coléoptères, perceurs de l'écorce et xylophages, rapportées pour la première fois sur le continent américain de 1985 à 2005, incluant deux buprestidés (Agrilus planipennis et Agrilus

“…1 The cumulative number of identified insect species has increased steadily since 1820, a pattern that has been attributed to growth in international trade (Dehnen-Schmutz et al; Elton;Frey;Levine and D'Antonio;Maki and Galatowitsch;Niemela and Mattson;Perrings et al;Sailer 1978Sailer , 1983Stanaway et al;Weigle et al) and travel (Johnson, Ricciardi, and Carlton; Liebhold et al; Office of Technology Assessment) and natural habitat destruction (Pimentel, 1993;Taylor and Irwin;Vilà and Pujadas). Early introductions have been associated with European migration (Smith; Wheeler and Hoebeke), the surge in animal and plant imports following the founding of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) (Sailer, 1983), and large-scale commercial production of homogeneous crops and livestock (Capinera).…”

Introductions of nonindigenous organisms into the United States have been linked to international trade. The individual contributions of imports, immigration, and international travel, however, are poorly understood because introduction dates are unavailable. We examine relationships between economic trends and discoveries of nonindegenous insects and use these relationships to infer the timing and determinants of introductions. We find that a few variables can explain much variation in species introductions and identifications. The most significant contributor to the introduction appears to be agricultural imports. Currently available proxies for academic effort are weak determinants of the probability that introduced species are identified.

“…As this work was not vector-or species-specific, for simplicity it was assumed that the probability of surviving transport ̿ is constant for all routes (Table 2) and estimates for this parameter were taken from Stanaway et al (2001). Estimates of the probability of establishment failure ̅ were based on the assumption that of the total number of species introduced to the recipient country the proportion that are establishment failures will be constant (0.98 based on estimates from di Castri, 1989).…”

“…Consequently, only a small proportion of the potential vectors can actually be inspected McCullough et al, 2006) and a large number of organisms go undetected (Stanaway et al, 2001;Work et al, 2005). Inspection services also often only target agricultural pests, neglecting organisms that will have environmental impacts .…”

Border control for stowaway alien species should be prioritised based on variations in establishment debt

Highlights• We evaluated the number of stowaways that could be introduced and establish in South Africa.• The number of species that pose a risk varies across donor regions and seasons.• South Africa's risk is greatest in southern hemisphere spring and autumn.• In spring and autumn the risk posed by northern hemisphere countries increases.• Vectors from countries should be targeted during periods of the year when many species will be introduced and establish. AbstractBorder control is one of the major approaches used by countries to limit the number of organisms introduced as stowaways. However, it is not feasible to inspect all passengers, cargo and vehicles entering a country, and so efforts need to be prioritised. Here we use South Africa as a case study to assess, based on tourism and trade data and climate matching techniques, the number of stowaway species that might be introduced ('colonisation pressure') and the likelihood that once introduced, these organisms will establish ('likelihood of establishment'). These results were used to explore how the number of species that are likely to establish ('establishment debt') varies across donor regions and seasons. A simple theoretical model was then used to compare four strategies for prioritising border control inspections: no prioritisation; based on colonisation pressure; based on 1 likelihood of establishment; and based on both colonisation pressure and likelihood of establishment. Establishment debt was greatest in southern hemisphere spring and autumn when South Africa is climatically similar to northern hemisphere countries with which there are strong, consistent trade and tourism links (i.e. colonisation pressure varied little seasonally, but likelihood of establishment did vary across the seasons). Prioritising inspections based on both colonisation pressure and the likelihood of establishment was clearly the most effective strategy, with this strategy detecting at least 6% more potential invaders than the other strategies. While there are many practical limitations to the implementation of such prioritised inspection strategies, the results highlight the importance of national and regional studies of establishment debt.
