dc.description.abstract |
Our understanding and management of biological invasions relies on our ability to classify and conceptualise
the phenomenon. This need has stimulated the development of a plethora of frameworks, ranging in nature
from conceptual to applied. However, most of these frameworks have not been widely tested and their
general applicability is unknown. In order to critically evaluate frameworks in invasion science, we held
a workshop on ‘Frameworks used in Invasion Science’ hosted by the DSI-NRF Centre of Excellence for
Invasion Biology in Stellenbosch, South Africa, in November 2019, which led to this special issue. For the
purpose of the workshop we defined a framework as “a way of organising things that can be easily communicated
to allow for shared understanding or that can be implemented to allow for generalisations useful for
research, policy or management”. Further, we developed the Stellenbosch Challenge for Invasion Science:
“Can invasion science develop and improve frameworks that are useful for research, policy or management,
and that are clear as to the contexts in which the frameworks do and do not apply?”. Particular considerations
identified among meeting participants included the need to identify the limitations of a framework,
specify how frameworks link to each other and broader issues, and to improve how frameworks can facilitate
communication. We believe that the 24 papers in this special issue do much to meet this challenge. The
papers apply existing frameworks to new data and contexts, review how the frameworks have been adopted and used, develop useable protocols and guidelines for applying frameworks to different contexts, refine the
frameworks in light of experience, integrate frameworks for new purposes, identify gaps, and develop new
frameworks to address issues that are currently not adequately dealt with. Frameworks in invasion science
must continue to be developed, tested as broadly as possible, revised, and retired as contexts and needs
change. However, frameworks dealing with pathways of introduction, progress along the introductionnaturalisation-
invasion continuum, and the assessment of impacts are being increasingly formalised and
set as standards. This, we argue, is an important step as invasion science starts to mature as a discipline. |
