Abstract

The invasive species issue is inherently a matter of risk; what is the risk that an invasive species will adversely impact valued assets? The early detection of and rapid response to invasive species (EDRR) requires that an assessment of risk is conducted as rapidly as possible. We define risk screening as rapid characterization of the types and degree of risks posed by a population of non-native species in a particular spatio-temporal context. Risk screening is used to evaluate the degree to which various response measures are warranted and justifiable. In this paper, we evaluate the US government’s risk screening programs with a view towards advancing national EDRR capacity. Our survey-based findings, consistent with prior analyses, indicate that risk evaluation by federal agencies has largely been a reactive, ad hoc process, and there is a need to improve information sharing, risk evaluation tools, and staff capacity for risk screening. We provide an overview of the US Department of Agriculture’s Tiered Weed Risk Evaluation and US Fish and Wildlife Service’s Ecological Risk Screening Summaries, two relatively new approaches to invasive species risk screening that hold promise as the basis for future work. We emphasize the need for a clearinghouse of risk evaluation protocols, tools, completed assessments and associated information; development of performance metrics and standardized protocols for risk screening; as well as support for complementary, science-based tools to facilitate and validate risk screening.

制定国家早期发现和快速响应计划:建设联邦风险筛查能力的需求

摘要

入侵物种问题本质上是一个风险问题。入侵物种会对有价值的资产产生不利影响的风险是什么?对入侵物种(EDRR)的早期发现和快速反应要求尽快评估风险。我们将风险筛选定义为在特定时空背景下快速表征非本地物种种群所构成的风险类型和程度。风险筛查用于评估各种应对措施的合理性和合理性。在本文中,我们评估了美国政府的风险筛查计划,以期提高国家的EDRR能力。我们基于调查的调查结果与之前的分析一致,表明联邦机构进行的风险评估在很大程度上是一个被动的,临时的流程,并且需要改善信息共享,风险评估工具以及员工进行风险筛查的能力。我们概述了美国农业部的杂草分层风险评估和美国鱼类和野生动物服务局的生态风险筛选摘要,这两种相对较新的入侵物种风险筛选方法有望为未来的工作奠定基础。我们强调需要建立风险评估协议,工具,完成的评估和相关信息的信息交换所;制定绩效指标和标准化的风险筛查协议;以及对辅助性,基于科学的工具的支持,以促进和验证风险筛查。我们概述了美国农业部的杂草分层风险评估和美国鱼类和野生动物服务局的生态风险筛选摘要,这两种相对较新的入侵物种风险筛选方法有望为未来的工作奠定基础。我们强调需要建立风险评估协议,工具,完成的评估和相关信息的信息交换所;制定绩效指标和标准化的风险筛查协议;以及对辅助性,基于科学的工具的支持,以促进和验证风险筛查。我们概述了美国农业部的杂草分层风险评估和美国鱼类和野生动物服务局的生态风险筛选摘要,这两种相对较新的入侵物种风险筛选方法有望为未来的工作奠定基础。我们强调需要建立风险评估协议,工具,完成的评估和相关信息的信息交换所;制定绩效指标和标准化的风险筛查协议;以及对辅助性,基于科学的工具的支持,以促进和验证风险筛查。我们强调需要建立风险评估协议,工具,完成的评估和相关信息的信息交换所;制定绩效指标和用于风险筛查的标准化协议;以及对辅助性,基于科学的工具的支持,以促进和验证风险筛查。我们强调需要建立风险评估协议,工具,完成的评估和相关信息的信息交换所;制定绩效指标和标准化的风险筛查协议;以及对辅助性,基于科学的工具的支持,以促进和验证风险筛查。
