When are eradication campaigns successful? A test of common assumptions

Abstract: Eradication aims at eliminating populations of alien organisms from an area. Since not all eradications are successful, several factors have been proposed in the literature (mainly by referring to case studies) to be crucial for eradication success, such as infestation size or reaction time. To our knowledge, however, no study has statistically evaluated which factors affect eradication success and attempted to determine their relative importance. We established a unique global dataset on 136 eradication campa… Show more

“…They would also be of use in assessing which currently established species may have the largest actual impacts in the future. It would be a great step forward in the management of invasive pests if biological traits could help us to identify species with large impacts on the environment and economy before they have spread enough for their impacts to be felt, when control will be substantially easier (Pluess et al 2012).…”

“…Considering the experience with the eradication of invasive plants in other regions (e.g., Pluess et al 2012;Rejmanek and Pitcairn 2002), we do not think these species can be eradicated easily from their present area. However, they can be prevented from reaching other regions.…”

“…The cost of intervention can be greater than the losses in production from pitch canker. Furthermore, F. circinatum is now widely distributed in the northwestern Iberian Peninsula so local eradication efforts are not sensible (Pluess et al 2012). Legally prescribed responses to pinewood nematode in Spain are even more severe (Xunta de Galicia 2017): cut all pine trees within 1.5 km and remove all susceptible host material for its local vector, Monochamus galloprovinciales, within 20 km.…”
