The return of the native: reintroductions, reinvasions, and a new paradigm in restoration ecology

我们开发了一种新的解决方案来改善害虫控制，用于保护稀有和濒危野生动物，通过重新引入常见的本地物种来阻止害虫控制后的再入侵。我们的方法将大大降低澳大利亚虫害防治的持续成本，我们的解决方案既可以用于大型保护组织，也可以用于旨在控制害虫和保护重要野生动物的小型社区团体。我们的技术也可以用于解决世界其他地方的外来物种问题。这项工作加强了澳大利亚在研究外来物种方面享誉世界的专业知识，以及开发应对外来影响的新解决方案的能力。

We develop a new solution to improve pest control used to protect rare and endangered wildlife by using reintroductions of common native species as a block to reinvasion following pest control. Our approach will significantly reduce the ongoing costs of pest control in Australia and our solution can be used by both large conservation organisations as well as small community groups aiming to control pests and protect key wildlife. Our technique can also be exported to solve alien species problems elsewhere in the world. This work strengthens Australia’s world renowned expertise for research into alien species and ability to develop novel solutions to alien impacts.
