入侵物种被认为是全球环境变化和经济损失的主要驱动因素，促使世界各国政府增加预防和控制投资。不幸的是，最近的研究往往是政策制定者和管理者无法接触到的形式。分析的复杂性和由此产生的时间要求可能令人望而却步，特别是考虑到入侵者和潜在入侵者数量不断增加。公开的挑战是找到复杂性和可用性之间的平衡。在这里，我们得出了几个通用的“经验法则”，这些规则允许快速初始指导，同时仍然捕获入侵的关键特征。我们将生态复杂性浓缩为相对较少的易于理解和估计的参数，提供入侵的一般定性生物经济行为，并提出可以为预防和控制投资提供指导的基本响应面。 (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. 保留所有权利。
Invasive species have been highlighted as a major driver of global environmental change and economic damages, spurring governments worldwide to increase prevention and control investments. Unfortunately, recent research is frequently in a form inaccessible to policy-makers and managers. The complexity of analysis and resulting time requirements can be prohibitive, especially given increasing numbers of invaders and potential invaders. The open challenge is to find the balance between complexity and usability. Herein we derive several general "rules of thumb" that permit rapid initial guidance while still capturing critical features of invasions. We condense ecological complexity to a relatively small number of easily understood and estimated parameters, provide general qualitative bioeconomic behavior of invasions, and present basic response surfaces that can provide guidance for prevention and control investments.
