没有任何地方比太平洋岛屿更明显地受到入侵物种的负面影响，如生态系统改变、捕食、寄生和疾病，人类接触引发了大规模的鸟类灭绝事件，目前仍在继续。岛屿鸟类天生容易灭绝，因为它们的种群小，孤立，缺乏对许多捕食者的进化防御。为了防止进一步的破坏，必须实施有效的鸟类保护战略，以减轻入侵物种的影响，这些影响往往相互作用，共同构成对全球生物多样性的一些最大威胁。在2014年日本东京国际鸟类学大会上，研究人员召开了一个研讨会，讨论入侵物种的研究和管理，以利于太平洋岛屿鸟类保护。发言者介绍了来自日本、韩国、关岛、加拉帕戈斯和新西兰的研究和保护工作，强调了对鸟类的新的、鲜为人知的威胁（例如，入侵性植物缠绕和入侵性巢寄生虫造成的死亡率），并提供最新资料，说明正在努力防止入侵性食肉动物造成的岛屿特有物种灭绝。在本文中，我们提供了新的细节研究和保护工作的Swinhoe的风暴海燕（Oceanodroma monhris），冲绳铁路（Gallirallus okinawae），关岛铁路（G。owstoni），并把这项研究的背景下，简要回顾和综合其他相关的，最近的研究，入侵物种的影响，因为他们影响太平洋岛屿鸟类保护。最后，我们强调成功的管理策略，建议改善正在进行的保护工作，并为未来的研究方向提出建议。
Nowhere are the negative impacts of invasive species, such as ecosystem modification, predation, parasitism, and disease, more apparent than in the Pacific islands, where human contact triggered a massive avian extinction event that is still ongoing. Island bird species are inherently vulnerable to extinction due to their small, isolated populations and lack of evolved defenses against many predators. To prevent further extinctions, effective bird conservation strategies must be implemented to mitigate invasive species’ impacts, which often interact synergistically and collectively comprise some of the greatest threats to global biodiversity. At the 2014 International Ornithological Congress in Tokyo, Japan, researchers convened a symposium to address research and management of invasive species to benefit Pacific island bird conservation. Speakers presented research and conservation efforts from Japan, Korea, Guam, the Galápagos, and New Zealand, highlighting novel, poorly known threats to birds (e.g., mortality from invasive plant entanglement and invasive nest parasites) and providing updates on ongoing efforts to prevent island endemic species extinctions driven by invasive predators. In this paper we provide new details of research and conservation efforts on Swinhoe’s storm petrel (Oceanodroma monhris), the Okinawa rail (Gallirallus okinawae), and the Guam rail (G. owstoni), and put this research in context by briefly reviewing and synthesizing other relevant, recent studies on impacts of invasive species as they affect Pacific island bird conservation. We conclude by highlighting successful management strategies, recommending improvements for ongoing conservation efforts, and suggesting directions for future research.
