“…Understanding species abundance, as function of the habitat characteristics of a landscape and the population-dynamic properties of the species, is important for guiding landscape management policy for biodiversity conservation (Jeanneret et al, 2003;Aldridge and Boyce, 2007;Ockinger and Smith, 2007), and the control of invasive species (Sebert-Cuvillier et al, 2008;McKee et al, 2009) and of crop pests (Bianchi et al, 2006).…”

In landscape ecology, correlational approaches are typically used to analyse links between local population abundance, and the surrounding habitat amount to estimate biologically-relevant landscape size (extent) for managing endangered or pest populations. The direction, strength, and spatial extent of the correlations are then sometimes interpreted in terms of species population parameters. Here we simulated the population dynamics of generalized species across spatially explicit landscapes that included two distinct habitat types. We investigated how characteristics of a landscape (structure), including the variation in habitat quality and spatial aggregation of the habitat, and the precise population-dynamic properties of the simulated species (dispersal and growth rates) affect the correlation between population abundance and amount of surrounding favourable habitat in the landscape. To evaluate these spatial extents of correlation, proportions of favourable habitat were calculated within several circles of increasing diameter centred on sampling patches of favourable habitat where population abundance was recorded. We found that the value of the correlation coefficients between population abundance and amount of surrounding favourable habitat depended on both population dynamic parameters and landscape characteristics. Coefficients of correlation increased with the variation in habitat quality and the aggregation of favourable habitat in the landscape, but decreased with the dispersal distance. The distance at which the correlation was maximized was sensitive to an interaction between the level of aggregation of the habitat and the dispersal distance; whereas the greatest distance at which a significant correlation occurred was more sensitive to the variation in habitat quality. Our results corroborate the view that correlational analyses do provide information on the local population dynamics of a species in a given habitat type and on its dispersal rate parameters. However, even in simplified, model frameworks, direct relationships are often difficult to disentangle and global landscape characteristics should be reported in any studies intended to derive population-dynamic parameters from correlations. Where possible, replicated landscapes should be examined in order to control for the interaction between population dynamics and landscape structure. Finally, we recommend using species-specific, population-dynamic modelling in order to interpret correctly the observed patterns of correlation in the landscape

“…The study objects range from individual invasive species such as koalas (Ross and Pollett, 2007), Bemisia tabaci (Hilje and Stansly, 2008) and greenhouse whitefly (McKee et al, 2008) to marine invasive species (Fernandez, 2008;Jones and Corona, 2008), ornamental garden plants (Dehnen-Schmutz et al, 2004), and individual species in specific countries (Blignaut et al, 2007). In the context of animal diseases the applications vary from individual diseases such as classical swine fever (De Vos et al, 2005) or hypothetical foot and mouth disease (Schoenbaum and Disney, 2003) to assessments of management systems for multiple diseases such as the pig identification and recording system in Belgium (Saatkamp et al, 1997) or hog producer income under contagious animal disease quarantine (Niemi and Pietola, 2004).…”

Biosecurity is a concept that has important economic, social, ecological and health-related dimensions. By biosecurity we mean protection of production, ecosystems, health and the social infrastructure from external threats caused by pests, pathogens and diseases of various forms and origins. The fact that more goods, transport platforms and people are moving around the globe at increasing speeds provides unforeseen possibilities for rapid spread of different types of organisms. This is exacerbated by changes in the production structures and climate. As a result, both the benefits and the risks of changes in the food system cross borders more often, leading to an increased demand for biosecurity policies. Economics can be related to biosecurity in at least three fundamental ways. First, many of the ultimate or proximate causes of bioinvasions create economic welfare. Second, bioinvasions result in various types of impacts, many of which are economic by nature-or at least may be measured in economic terms. Third, the negative impacts of invasions or their probability of occurrence can often be either avoided or reduced. These biosecurity policies themselves have economic implications, which often may be quite different from those caused by the biological hazard itself. A few reviews of separate components of economics of biosecurity exist, but there have been no attempts to review the big picture. Instead, the previous reviews have concentrated on different components of biosecurity such as invasive species or animal diseases. Our aim is to look at the issue in broad terms, draw some commonalities from the research conducted, and identify areas in which economic analyses have primarily been conducted and in which areas there remains work to do. The review includes about 230 studies from all areas of biosecurity up to the year 2008. The review finds that study of economics of biosecurity is growing steadily, but is still relatively concentrated on narrow questions, few countries, few species/diseases and few journals. biosecurity / economics / invasive species / pests / diseases / review Contents

“…The rst strand of literature to which our paper relates is on the economics of pest management (Hueth and Regev, 1974;Carlson and Main, 1976;Wu, 2001;Noailly, 2008;McKee et al, 2009), which focuses on pests for which treatment is available after crops are aected.…”
