The Ecology of Invasions by Animals and Plants
1958 –Charles S. Elton
“…two rather different kinds of outbreaks in populations: those that occur because a foreign species successfully invades another country, and those that happen in native or long established populations. This book is chiefly about the firstkind – the invaders”.

Working Definitions in New York State and US
Invasive species: a species that is nonnative to the ecosystem under consideration, and whose introduction causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental harm or harm to human health. (To be considered invasive, the harm must significantly outweigh any benefits)
![Page 6: Invasive Species - cpb-us-e1.wpmucdn.com€¦ · Invasive Species: an overview Field Biology October 18, 2016 Carrie Brown-Lima Director, NYISRI Cornell University cjb37@cornell.edu.](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022060219/5f06e5ef7e708231d41a488e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What is a native species?A species that is a “part of the balance of nature” that has developed over hundreds or
thousands of years in a particular region or ecosystem.
– The word native should always be used with a geographic qualifier (that is, native to New York [for example]).
– Only species found in this country before European settlement are considered to be native to the United States.

What is a non-native species?
A species living outside its native distributional range, which has arrived there by human activity, either deliberate or accidental.
*Non-native species are not necessarily invasive.

• From Asia • First identified in Detroit, Mich., in 2002, • Has become the most destructive forest insect to ever
invade the U.S. Tens of millions of ash trees have already been killed
• Now found in 18 states, along with Ontario and Quebec. • Predicted to wipe out all ash trees in the US

Common characteristics of invasive species
Invasive species in general:
• Have few or no natural predators, competitors, parasites or diseases
• Have high reproductive rates
• Are long-lived
• Are generalists
• Are pioneer species
Characteristics that make Zebra mussels a good invader include its ability to tolerate a wide-range
of environments, and high reproduction rate; female mussels release up to 100,000 eggs year.

Invasive Establishment
Transitions that a species must overcome to become invasive
– Transport pathway– Introduction– Establishment– Spread
The “10s Rule”– 10% of introduced species
will survive after arrival– 10% of that will become
invasive

How do invasive species arrive?
Intentional
For ecosystem service
For agricultural or landscape use
Biocontrol (before screening was mandated)
Aesthetic

Needed to have Structure
Needed To Be Organized
Would lead to Success
So we organized for efficiency by:
1. Developing Priority Conservation Areas, PCA’s.2. Developing Early Detection Protocols.3. Developing Rapid Response Protocols.
Realizing that surveying and responding is based on available resources, we recognized early on that we cant be everywhere detecting and responding to everything.

Eradication• Goal – Eliminate all individuals and seeds
Weed-free for 3+ years• Low likelihood of species returning (10 year timeframe)• Greatest success for small infestations (< 2.5 acres)
Exclusion or Containment• Goal – Prevent infestation from
spreading to uninfested areas• Best for slow spreading species and when
effective barriers exist• May require long term maintenance
Suppression• Goal – reduce the population or reproductive
output to a level that maintains native species or ecosystem processes
• May require long term maintenance

Growing debate surrounding invasion biology

“Invasive species differ significantly from non-invasive species (Thompson 1994), but the attributes of invasive aliens are not unique; most are shared by invasive native species. “
From: Native and Alien Invasive Plants: More of the Same? Author(s): Ken Thompson, John G. Hodgson and Tim C. G. Rich Source: Ecography, Vol. 18, No. 4 (Dec., 1995), pp. 390-402

Impact matters more than originEx: Southern Pine Beetle in New York
• First documented occurrence in NYS (Long Island) in 2014 (since first systematic entomological records collected in 1800s)
• Native to the southern pine ecosystem and the pine barrens ecosystem.
• Highly destructive forest pest with the ability to rapidly change forest type (e.g., from pines to scrub hardwoods).

Expert Opinions: Native Pest or Invasive Species?
“This is a native species and I feel quite certain that
this is all about climate change. It must have been
brought north many times but for some reason, now
it’s surviving in more northern locations than in the
past.”
“I feel SPB is invasive because 1) there are no
past records of its presence in Long Island; and
2) because the Long Island population of pine
is disjunct from others”
“In my opinion, SPB is an invasive native, but
not exotic pest expanding into New York State
as a result of climate change or extreme
weather events. Invasive does not necessarily
mean exotic; SPB is an invasive pest even in
NC.”

What difference will this make?
• Where do the management resources come from?
• Who is responsible for addressing the problem?
“The administrative decision of whether SPB is an “invasive species” under New York law should not affect the practical responses.” Dr. Matt Ayres, Dartmouth College

Challenges for invasive species management:
• Many species – which ones, where?
• Understanding new and existing invasive species, species interactions/impacts
• Setting objectives and measuring real results
• Best control methods – quantitative not qualitative
• Were we successful – cost / benefits of control?

Invasive Species in NYS
389 species of non-native (varying levels of
invasiveness) plants, animals, insects, pathogens documented in New York(was 346 a year ago)

Solutions in New York
• In 2003 Gov. Pataki called for an Invasive Species Task Force (ISTF) to explore invasive species issues and provide recommendations
• Published report in 2005 with 12 recommendations to address invasive species in the state
