“…This type of colonization is termed “jump dispersal,” where the areas in between are gradually filled in (Fujisaki et al ). This pattern is similar to what has been observed on the European continent (Rocha‐Camerero and Hidalgo de Trucios ). Its success in colonizing North America is largely due to its propensity for thriving around human settlements (Hudson ).…”

The Eurasian collared-dove (Streptopelia decaocto) has recently experienced a population explosion in North America. It is frequently infected with West Nile virus (WNV). To test the hypothesis that the Eurasian collared-dove is competent to transmit WNV, we experimentally infected two cohorts of doves with two different strains of WNV, CO08, and NY99, respectively. Both virus strains induced a low-level viremia, capable of infecting a small fraction of vector mosquitoes. We suggest that the Eurasian collared-dove plays a relatively insignificant role as an amplifying host for WNV, but it may be important where it is locally abundant.

“…Invasive species are drivers of global environmental change, particularly in plant communities and aquatic systems (Sala et al 2000), but environmental change is also likely to drive new invasions. Citizen science has tracked changes in distributions of invasive birds colonizing new habitats, including the rate of population growth in the invasive mute swan, Cygnus olor, in North America (Petrie & Francis 2003) and the extent of range expansion by the Eurasian collared-dove, Streptopelia decaocto, in both North America and Europe (Eraud et al 2007, Rocha-Camarero & DeTrucios 2002. Going beyond distribution mapping, Bonter et al (2009) linked the abundance and distribution of Eurasian collared-doves in Florida with remotely sensed land cover data, showing that urban and suburban sites were more likely to be occupied by this invasive bird.…”

Citizen science, the involvement of volunteers in research, has increased the scale of ecological field studies with continent-wide, centralized monitoring efforts and, more rarely, tapping of volunteers to conduct large, coordinated, field experiments. The unique benefit for the field of ecology lies in understanding processes occurring at broad geographic scales and on private lands, which are impossible to sample extensively with traditional field research models. Citizen science produces large, longitudinal data sets, whose potential for error and bias is poorly understood. Because it does not usually aim to uncover mechanisms underlying ecological patterns, citizen science is best viewed as complementary to more localized, hypothesis-driven research. In the process of addressing the impacts of current, global "experiments" altering habitat and climate, large-scale citizen science has led to new, quantitative approaches to emerging questions about the distribution and abundance of organisms across space and time.

“…While these extraordinary capabilities were ascribed by Mayr (1951) to a genetic mutation, a definitive explanation is awaited. In addition, the collared dove can present potential threats to native avifauna and ecosystems by competing for resources or transmitting diseases (Romagosa & Labisky, 2000; see also Rocha‐Camarero & Hidalgo de Trucios, 2002).…”

Aim The study of the spatial dynamics of invasive species is a key issue in invasion ecology. While mathematical models are useful for predicting the extent of population expansions, they are not suitable for measuring and characterizing spatial patterns of invasion unless the probability of detection is homogeneous across the distribution range. Here, we apply recently developed statistical approaches incorporating detection uncertainty to characterize the spatial dynamics of an invasive bird species, the Eurasian collared dove (Streptopelia decaocto).Location France.Methods Data on presence/absence of doves were recorded from 1996 to 2004 over 1045 grid cells (28 · 20 km) covering the entire country. Each grid cell included five point counts spaced along a route, which was visited twice a year, allowing for an estimation of detection probability. Each route was assigned to one of six geographical regions. We used robust design occupancy analysis to assess spatial and temporal variation in parameters related to the spatial dynamics of the species. These parameters included occupancy rate, colonization and local extinction probabilities. Our inference approach was based on the selection of the most parsimonious model among competitive models parametrized with conditional probabilities. ResultsThe probability of detecting the presence of doves on a given route was high. However, we found evidence to incorporate detection uncertainty in inference processes about spatial dynamics, since detection probability was neither perfect (i.e. it was < 1), nor constant over space and time. Results showed a clear positive trend in occupancy rate over the study period, increasing from 55% in 1996 to 76% in 2004. In addition, occupancy rate differed among regions (range: 37-79%) and further analysis showed that colonization probability by region was positively related to occupancy rate. Finally, local extinction probability was lower than colonization probability and showed a tendency to decrease over the study period.Main conclusions Our results emphasize the importance of estimating detection probabilities in order to draw proper inferences about the spatial and temporal dynamics of the invasion pattern of the collared dove. In contrast to the perceived spatial dynamics from national atlas surveys, we provide evidence that the range of this species is currently increasing in France. Other results, such as regional specificity in colonization probabilities and time variation in local extinction are consistent with expectations from invasion and metapopulation theory.
