Island invasives: scaling up to meet the challenge. Proceedings of the international conference on island invasives 2017

Abstract

The papers and abstracts published in this book are the outcome of the Island Invasives 2017 Conference co-hosted by the University of Dundee and the South Georgia Heritage Trust, held at the University of Dundee, Scotland, from 10 to 14 July 2017. The guidelines for this conference were: “any topic relating to invasive alien species on islands, where the term ‘island’ is broadly interpreted and (rather ironically from a classical perspective) may include a submarine island – e.g. a coral reef. The invasive species involved may be fl ora or fauna. Particularly encouraged were papers that relate to the theme of the conference – scaling up to meet the challenge – or to either biosecurity/quarantine or post eradication impacts on native biota.”
