“…It has been suggested that there is a relationship between process factors and outcomes of collaborative projects (Conley & Moote, 2003;Velten et al, 2021). However, no study to our knowledge has investigated the dynamics of this relationship in collaborative invasive species management (see Kerr et al, 2016;Prosser et al, 2002). This paper investigates the associations between process factors and performance measures of outcomes in collaborative invasive species management in Queensland, Australia.…”

Invasive species cause severe threats to biodiversity and the economy, but often across multi‐actor landscapes. Therefore, collaboration among multiple actors across landscapes is often essential for managing invasive species. Deciding whether to collaborate depends on available resources and potential benefits. As such, it is vital to identify how different factors can influence the outcomes of collaborations. We developed and tested a conceptual model that integrates potential process factors and performance measures for outcomes of collaborative invasive species management. We surveyed professionals engaged in invasive species management in Queensland, Australia. We first assessed their perception of the presence of process factors and perception of the performance measures of collaborative invasive species management projects using descriptive methods. Then we tested the associations between process factors and performance measures using structural equation modelling. While confirming that a good collaboration of stakeholders (e.g. communication and trust) is essential to enhance performances, our results suggest that the way collaborative projects are structured (e.g. ability to participate in decision‐making, having shared goals) also significantly influences the performance of the projects, especially in achieving goals. Furthermore, results suggest that achieving long‐term collaborations and outcomes is directly influenced by the extent to which stakeholders support or oppose the collaboration. As such, our study contributes to a significant research gap by establishing a connection between the collaboration process and its outcomes. We conclude that decision‐makers should give equal importance to both designing favourable collaborative project structures and fostering collaborations with stakeholders through different means to enhance the benefits of collaboration in invasive species management.

Ecologists, land managers, and policy makers continue to search for the most efective ways to manage biological invasions. An emerging lesson is that proactive management can limit negative impacts, reduce risks, and save money. This book explores how to detect and respond to alien plant incursions, summarising the most current literature, providing practical recommendations, and reviewing the conditions and processes necessary to achieve prevention, eradication, and containment. Chapter topics include assessing invasiveness and the impact of alien plants, how to improve surveillance eforts, how to make timely management decisions, and how legislation and strategic planning can support management. Each chapter includes text boxes written by international experts that discuss topical issues such as spatial predictive modelling, costing invasions, biosecurity, biofuels, and dealing with conlict species. joh n r. wi l s on has published close to one hundred papers in peer-reviewed journals on a wide range of ecological and evolutionary topics, with a particular focus on invasion science. Based in South Africa, he is a member of the IUCN Invasive Species Specialist Group, and works across science, management, and policy. f. dane panet ta has over forty years of weeds-related research experience in the areas of ecology, risk assessment, and incursion management. He has published close to one hundred papers in peer-reviewed journals and has edited or co-edited three books on weed risk assessment. He resides in Brisbane, Australia. c ory l i ndg re n is an ecologist and biosecurity policy analyst who earned his PhD from the University of Manitoba. He is a long time director of the Invasive Species Council of Manitoba and on the organizing committee for the Weeds Across Borders conference. He has authored numerous peer-reviewed papers and contributed chapters to books on invasive species.

Managing Wicked Herbicide-Resistance: Lessons from the Field

Herbicide resistance is 'wicked' in nature; therefore, results of the many educational efforts to encourage diversification of weed control practices in the United States have been mixed. It is clear that we do not sufficiently understand the totality of the grassroots obstacles, concerns, challenges, and specific solutions needed for varied crop production systems. Weed management issues and solutions vary with such variables as management styles, regions, cropping systems, and available or affordable technologies. Therefore, to help the weed science community better understand the needs and ideas of those directly dealing with herbicide resistance, seven half-day regional listening sessions were held across the United States between December 2016 and April 2017 with groups of diverse stakeholders on the issues and potential solutions for herbicide resistance management. The major goals of the sessions were to gain an understanding of stakeholders and their goals and concerns related to herbicide resistance management, to become familiar with regional differences, and to identify decision maker needs to address herbicide resistance. The messages shared by listening-session participants could be summarized by six themes: we need new herbicides; there is no need for more regulation; there is a need for more education, especially for others who were not present; diversity is hard; the agricultural economy makes it difficult to make changes; and we are aware of herbicide resistance but are managing it. The authors concluded that more work is needed to bring a community-wide, interdisciplinary approach to understanding the complexity of managing weeds within the context of the whole farm operation and for communicating the need to address herbicide resistance.
