This interactive webinar, led by Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research reflects on why it is important to discover where weeds originated from, how this generic work is done, and implications of this work on a number of invasive weeds in the Pacific.

There are 5 important questions to answer to decide if any proposed vertebrate eradication is feasible. Richard Griffiths discusses it here

PRISMSS Researcher William Young talks about the importance of understanding the human relationship with invasive species management, and how gender equality and social inclusion is crucial in achieving invasive species management in the Pacific.

Allochthonous resource fluxes mediated by organisms crossing ecosystem boundaries may be essential for supporting the structure and function of resource-limited environments, such as tropical islands and surrounding coral reefs. However, invasive species, such as black rats, thrive on tropical islands and disrupt the natural pathways of nutrient subsidies by reducing seabird colonies. Here, we used stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon to examine the role of seabirds in subsidizing the terrestrial food webs and adjacent coral reefs in the Abrolhos archipelago, southwest Atlantic Ocean.
