Conservation conversations: a typology of barriers to conservation success

Michele Jeanette Sanders et al.

Summary: Despite achievements in conservation, biodiversity decline persists and conservation initiatives encounter various barriers. Analyzing interviews with conservationists, a typology of barriers to conservation success has been created to improve decision-making and overall impact. The typology can also help the conservation community implement better practices and increase the likelihood of success.

Citizen Science and Biological Invasions: A Review

Joao Encarnacao et al.

Summary: Biological invasions are a challenging issue, but citizen science projects have proven to be valuable in detecting and preventing the spread of non-indigenous species. Most research focuses on terrestrial species, particularly terrestrial plants, but early detection reports often come from non-indigenous marine fish due to constraints in accessing aquatic ecosystems. Citizen science projects over broad geographical areas are cost-effective in early detection, regardless of the environment studied.

Trying to collapse a population for conservation: commercial trade of a marine invasive species by artisanal fishers

Luis Malpica-Cruz et al.

Summary: A study in the Mexican Caribbean analyzed a commercial lionfish fishing operation, finding that commercial fishers were effective at catching lionfish, with peak landings in 2014. However, the fishery's success led to its decline, as market interest waned and economic viability was lost. If fisheries are to be used as management strategies for future invasions, strategic collaboration plans with commercial fishing partners are essential.

Functional eradication as a framework for invasive species control

Stephanie J. Green et al.

Summary: Dealing with invasive species remains a challenge globally, particularly in marine and freshwater habitats where resources for eradication often fall short. Establishing targets for suppression of invasions based on achieving functional eradication is crucial, requiring key ecological information such as density-impact functions and recolonization rates.
