“…Although caution should be taken to the use of date of first published record as a proxy for the record of introductions (Solow and Costello 2004 ;Costello et al 2007 ), significant differences in initial spread rates were detected for several of the groups studied. For example, spread rates were faster for accidentally introduced species than for intentionally introduced (primarily biocontrol) insects.…”

“…Recorded dates of discovery can be a poor proxy for the timing actual introduction, given detection or reporting lags (Solow and Costello 2004 ). The discovery process is closely linked to effort allocated to detecting established alien species in the invaded region (Costello et al 2007 )-detection effort is highly likely to vary across time and space, partly as a function of available funding.…”

Temporal and interspecific variation in rates of spread for insect species invading Europe during the last 200 years

Globalization is triggering an increase in the establishment of alien insects in Europe, with several species having substantial ecological and economic impacts. We investigated long-term changes in rates of species spread following establishment. We used the total area of countries invaded by 1171 insect species for which the date of first record in Europe is known, to estimate their current range radius (calculated as [invaded area] /π). We estimated initial rates of radial spread and compared them among different groups of insects for all years (1800-2014) and for a subset of more recent decades . Accidentally introduced species spread faster than intentionally introduced species. Considering the whole period 1800-2014, spread patterns also differ between feeding guilds, with decreasing spread rates over residence time in herbivores but not in detritivores or parasitic species. These decreases for herbivorous species appeared mainly in those associated with herbaceous plants and crops rather than woody plants. Initial spread rate was significantly greater for species detected after 1990, roughly 3-4 times higher than for species that arrived earlier. We hypothesize that the political changes in Europe following the collapse of the Iron Curtain in 1989, and the further dismantling of customs checkpoints within an enlarged European Union (EU) have facilitated the faster spread of alien insect species. Also, the number of species first recorded in the Eastern Bloc of the politically-divided Europe before 1989 was lower than for the rest of Europe. A detailed analysis of six recent invaders indicated a dominant role of long-distance translocations related to human activities, especially with the plant trade, in determining rates of spread. AQ1

“…We know that the more open economies are, the more vulnerable they are to biological invasions (Dalmazzone 2000 ;Vila & Pujadas 2001 ). We also know that the volume and direction of trade are good empirical predictors of introductions (Levine & D ' Antonio 2003 ;Costello et al 2007 ). In the same way, the volume of market transactions within a country turn out to be good empirical predictors of the establishment and spread of introduced species.…”
