Global Environment Facility

Restoring island resilience: managing invasive species for a resilient Pacific Wednesday, December 7, 16:00 - 17:00 ET Addressing invasive species can increase the climate resilience of Pacific Island ecosystems and communities. The GEF supported the development of the Pacific Regional Invasive Species Management Support Service as a regional mechanism to scale up support and help countries to mainstream invasive species management. This event will discuss the wide-ranging impacts of invasive species management for biodiversity, SDGs, and beyond.

Seabirds subsidize terrestrial food webs and coral reefs in a tropical rat-invaded archipelago

Linhares, Bruno de Andrade

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.

Invasive marine species are organisms that are introduced to parts of the world where they do not naturally occur and which have negative impacts on people, the environment, or resources. Negative impacts from invasive marine species include outcompeting native species and driving economic impacts, such as through the loss of commercial fisheries or aquaculture harvest. Not all non-native species are ‘invasive’. Non-native marine species can come from many taxonomic groups, such as fish, crabs, oysters, mussels, seaweeds, barnacles, or sponges.
