Abstract
Introduction of alien species to marine islands leads to destabilization of the unique ecosystems, which are characterized by a high level of ecological vulnerability. A review of alien mammal species in the insular theriocomplexes of the Northwestern Pacific was made and the results of a massive invasion that occurred in the recent 150 years were analyzed. Currently, 43 alien species belonging to 19 families of 7 mammal orders live on the islands of the Northwest Pacific, among which 9 are included in the list of the 14 most dangerous invasive species of the world, and 8 of the 10 most dangerous introduced mammals of the Russian Federation inhabit the islands of the Russian segment of this region.
期刊介绍:
Russian Journal of Biological Invasions publishes original scientific papers dealing with biological invasions of alien species in both terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and covers the following subjects:description of invasion process (theory, modeling, results of observations and experiments): invasion corridors, invasion vectors, invader species adaptations, vulnerability of aboriginal ecosystems;monitoring of invasion process (reports about findings of organisms out of the limits of natural range, propagule pressure assessment, settling dynamics, rates of naturalization);invasion risk assessment; genetic, evolutional, and ecological consequences of biological invasions of alien species; methods, means of hoarding, processing and presentation of applied research data (new developments, modeling, research results, databases) with factual and geoinformation system applications;use of the results of biological invasion research (methods and new basic results) under the study of marine, fresh-water and terrestrial species, populations, communities and ecosystems; control, rational use and eradication of the harmful alien species..
