“…Future introductions of non-native predators are another concern for Island Scrub-Jay conservation. Biosecurity concerns, especially for a response to rat introduction to the island, continue to exist (Boser et al 2014).…”

“…Considering the high risk of additional future introductions and the complexity of eradication and control programs, prevention should be one of the highest priorities for future conservation efforts on Catalina. It is widely agreed that the most desirable scenario is to prevent species introductions before they occur (e.g., IUCN 2000, Rejmánek and Pitcairn 2002, Courchamp et al 2003; therefore, biosecurity measures are needed (e.g., Boser et al 2014b). Even species that are already present, such as rats, could either introduce deadly new pathogens or gain the genetic variation necessary to become more successful (Suarez and Tsutsui 2008).…”

“…Quarantine is targeted at blocking source populations or dispersal pathways (Cope, Ross, Wittmann, Prowse, & Cassey, 2016; Faulkner, Robertson, Rouget, & Wilson, 2017), and surveillance is aimed at finding new NNS while their populations are still small or restricted enough to manage or eradicate (Moore et al, 2010; Whittle et al, 2013). Islands are also important sites for recreation, cultural, and industrial activities, which can all facilitate the establishment of NNS (Lohr et al, 2017) and reduce the success of quarantine actions (Boser et al, 2014). However, with adequate resources, a comprehensive biosecurity program can prevent the incursion and establishment of NNS into areas of high conservation value (Scott et al, 2017).…”
