  • An assessment of the information content of South African alien species databases 
    Faulkner, Katelyn T.; Spear, Dian; Robertson, Mark P.; Wilson, John R.U.; Rouget, Mathieu (AOSIS OpenJournals, 2015-05-29)
    National alien species databases indicate the state of a country’s biodiversity and provide useful data for research on invasion biology and the management of invasions. In South Africa there are several different published ...
  • The balance of trade in alien species between South Africa and the rest of Africa 
    Faulkner, Katelyn T.; Hurley, Brett Phillip; Robertson, Mark P.; Rouget, Mathieu; Wilson, John R.U. (AOSIS Open Journals, 2017-03-31)
    BACKGROUND : Alien organisms are not only introduced from one biogeographical region to another but also spread within regions. As South Africa shares land borders with six countries, multiple opportunities exist for the ...
  • Border control for stowaway alien species should be prioritised based on variations in establishment debt 
    Faulkner, Katelyn T.; Robertson, Mark P.; Rouget, Mathieu; Wilson, John R.U. (Elsevier, 2016-09)
    Border control is one of the major approaches used by countries to limit the number of organisms introduced as stowaways. However, it is not feasible to inspect all passengers, cargo and vehicles entering a country, and ...
  • Classifying the introduction pathways of alien species: are we moving in the right direction? 
    Faulkner, Katelyn T.; Hulme, Philip E.; Pagad, Shyama; Wilson, John R.U.; Robertson, Mark P. (Pensoft Publishers, 2020-10-15)
    Alien species are introduced to new regions in many different ways and for different purposes. A number of frameworks have been developed to group such pathways of introduction into discrete categories in order to improve ...
  • Indicators for monitoring biological invasions at a national level 
    Wilson, John R.U.; Faulkner, Katelyn T.; Rahlao, Sebataolo J.; Richardson, David M.; Zengeya, Tsungai Alfred; Van Wilgen, Brian W. (Wiley, 2018-11)
    1. A major challenge for the management of biological invasions is to ensure that data and information from basic inventories and ecological research are used alongside data from the monitoring and evaluation of interventions ...
  • An inventory of native-alien populations in South Africa 
    Nelufule, Takalani; Robertson, Mark P.; Wilson, John R.U.; Faulkner, Katelyn T. (Nature Research, 2023-04)
    Species can be both native and alien to a given administrative region. Here we present the first consolidated inventory of these ‘native-alien populations’ for South Africa, and provide an overview of the data it contains. ...
  • An inventory of native-alien populations in South Africa 
    Nelufule, Takalani; Robertson, Mark P.; Wilson, John R.U.; Faulkner, Katelyn T. (Nature Research, 2023-04)
    Species can be both native and alien to a given administrative region. Here we present the first consolidated inventory of these ‘native-alien populations’ for South Africa, and provide an overview of the data it contains. ...
  • Native-alien populations—an apparent oxymoron that requires specific conservation attention 
    Nelufule, Takalani; Robertson, Mark P.; Wilson, John R.U.; Faulkner, Katelyn T. (Pensoft Publishers, 2022-06-10)
    Many countries define nativity at a country-level—taxa are categorised as either alien species or native species. However, there are often substantial within-country biogeographical barriers and so a taxon can be native ...
  • Prioritising surveillance for alien organisms transported as stowaways on ships travelling to South Africa 
    Faulkner, Katelyn T.; Robertson, Mark P.; Rouget, Mathieu; Wilson, John R.U. (Public Library of Science, 2017-04-05)
    The global shipping network facilitates the transportation and introduction of marine and terrestrial organisms to regions where they are not native, and some of these organisms become invasive. South Africa was used as ...
  • A proposed protocol for identifying native-alien populations 
    Nelufule, Takalani; Robertson, Mark P.; Wilson, John R.U.; Faulkner, Katelyn T. (Regional Euro-Asian Biological Invasions Centre, 2023-11)
    It is important for regulators and managers to effectively distinguish native from alien taxa. However, a taxon can have both native and alien populations within the same country as biogeographic and administrative ...
  • A simple, rapid methodology for developing invasive species watch lists 
    Faulkner, Katelyn T.; Robertson, Mark P.; Rouget, Mathieu; Wilson, John R.U. (Elsevier, 2014-11)
    Biosecurity schemes aim to prevent the introduction of species with a high invasion potential, without unduly restricting personal freedom and commercial activities. But invasive species risk assessments are time consuming, ...
  • Stronger regional biosecurity is essential to prevent hundreds of harmful biological invasions 
    Faulkner, Katelyn T.; Robertson, Mark P.; Wilson, John R.U (Wiley, 2020-04)
    Biological invasions often transcend political boundaries, but the capacity of countries to prevent invasions varies. How this variation in biosecurity affects the invasion risks posed to the countries involved is unclear. ...
  • The threats posed by the pet trade in alien terrestrial invertebrates in South Africa 
    Nelufule, Takalani; Robertson, Mark P.; Wilson, John R.U.; Faulkner, Katelyn T.; Sole, Catherine L.; Kumschick, Sabrina (Elsevier, 2020-06)
    The pet trade has been a major pathway for the introduction of vertebrate invaders, but little is known about its role in invertebrate invasions. Here we assess the trade in terrestrial invertebrates (excluding spiders) ...
  • Understanding and managing the introduction pathways of alien taxa : South Africa as a case study 
    Faulkner, Katelyn T.; Robertson, Mark P.; Rouget, Mathieu; Wilson, John R.U. (Springer, 2016-01)
    For the effective prevention of biological invasions, the pathways responsible for introductions must be understood and managed. However introduction pathways, particularly for developing nations, have been understudied. ...
  • The wheat curl mite (Aceria tosichella, Prostigmata: Eriophyidae) could establish in South Africa 
    Venter, Tamryn S.; Robertson, Mark P.; Saccaggi, Davina L.; Faulkner, Katelyn T. (NISC (Pty) Ltd and Informa UK Limited (trading as Taylor and Francis Group), 2021)
    Biological invasions by agricultural pests can have serious negative impacts, including decreases in crop yield and economic losses. The MT-1 and MT-8 genotypes of the wheat curl mite (Aceria tosichella) (hereafter ‘WCM’ ...
