TL;DR: The aim was to consider IAS that were likely to impact on native biodiversity but were not yet established in the wild in Great Britain, and a novel extension of the consensus method for horizon scanning was developed which coupled consensus methods with rapid risk assessment.

TL;DR: This work reviews the state of the art, highlights recent advances, identifies pitfalls and constraints, and discusses major challenges in four broad fields of pathway research and management: pathway classification, application of pathway information, management response, and management impact.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long‐term changes to the frequency of occurrence of British moths are consistent with opposing and synergistic effects of climate and land‐use changes
TL;DR: The diverse responses revealed in this species‐rich taxon show that multifaceted conservation strategies are needed to minimize negative biodiversity impacts of multiple environmental changes, and suggest that habitat protection, management and ecological restoration can mitigate combined impacts of land‐use change and climate change by providing environments that are suitable for existing populations and also enable species to shift their ranges.
Journal ArticleDOI
The use of opportunistic data for IUCN Red List assessments
TL;DR: This work gives examples from Europe, Britain and Flemish Red List assessments using opportunistic data and gives recommendations for a more uniform use of IUCN criteria among regions and among taxonomic groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is argued that the threats posed by alien pathogens to endangered species, ecosystems, and ecosystem services should receive greater attention through legislation, policy, and management.
