Management of Biological Invasions

Management of Biological Invasions, established in 2010 by Dr. Elias Dana, is an open access, peer-reviewed international journal focusing on applied research in biological invasions in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems from around the world. This journal is devoted to bridging the gap between scientific research and the use of science in decision-making, regulation and management in the area of invasive species introduction and biodiversity conservation. Managing biological invasions is a crisis science, with Management of Biological Invasions aiming to provide insights to the issues, to document new forms of detection, measurements and analysis, and to document tangible solutions to this problem. In addition to original research on applied issues, Management of Biological Invasions publishes technical reports on new management technologies of invasive species and also the proceedings of relevant international meetings. As a platform to encourage informed discussion on matters of national and international importance, we publish viewpoint papers that highlight emerging issues, showcase initiatives, and present opinions of leading researchers. Management of Biological Invasions provides a forum for professionals involved in research and management of invasive alien species (IAS), including a focus on (but not exclusive to) the following: • Advances in management of aquatic and terrestrial IAS • Advances in early detection and monitoring of IAS • Advances in policy and regulations on IAS • Management frameworks • Human-mediated pathways and vectors of introductions of aquatic and terrestrial IAS • Socio-economic and cultural impacts of IAS • Ballast water research and management • Biofouling research and management • Bioaccumulation in IAS • Early warning and rapid response • Ecological risk assessment • Risk perception and behavioural intent • Control and eradication of IAS (including biological control) • Indicators for IAS (including biological indication) • IAS-related information systems and information management • IAS and biodiversity conservation • Case studies that highlight biosecurity management in action • Education and outreach • Citizen science
