dc.description.abstract | ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Non-native species cause changes in the ecosystems to which they are introduced. These changes, or some of them, are usually termed impacts; they can be manifold and potentially damaging to ecosystems and biodiversity. However, the impacts of most non-native species are poorly understood, and a synthesis of available information is being hindered because authors often do not clearly define impact. We argue that explicitly defining the impact of non-native species will promote progress toward a better understanding of the implications of changes to biodiversity and ecosystems caused by non-native species; help disentangle which aspects of scientific debates about non-native species are due to disparate definitions and which represent true scientific discord; and improve communication between scientists from different research disciplines and between scientists, managers, and policy makers. For these reasons and based on examples from the literature, we devised seven key questions that fall into 4 categories: directionality, classification and measurement, ecological or socio-economic changes, and scale. These questions should help in formulating clear and practical definitions of impact to suit specific scientific, stakeholder, or legislative contexts. | en_ZA |
dc.description.abstract | Resumen: Las especies no-nativas pueden causar cambios en los ecosistemas donde son introducidas. Estos cambios, o algunos de ellos, usualmente se denominan como impactos; estos pueden ser variados y potencialmente da˜ninos para los ecosistemas y la biodiversidad. Sin embargo, los impactos de la mayor´ıa de las especies no-nativas est´an pobremente entendidos y una s´ıntesis de informaci´on disponible se ve obstaculizada porque los autores continuamente no definen claramente impacto. Discutimos que definir expl´ıcitamente el impacto de las especies no-nativas promover´a el progreso hacia un mejor entendimiento de las implicaciones de los cambios a la biodiversidad y los ecosistemas causados por especies no-nativas; ayudar a entender cu´ales aspectos de los debates cient´ıficos sobre especies no-nativas son debidos a definiciones diversas y cu´ales representan un verdadero desacuerdo cient´ıfico; y mejorar la comunicaci´on entre cient´ıficos de diferentes disciplinas y entre cient´ıficos, administradores y quienes hacen las pol´ıticas. Por estas razones y bas´andonos en ejemplos tomados de la literatura, concebimos siete preguntas clave que caen en cuatro categor´ıas: direccionalidad, clasificaci´on y medida, cambios ecol´ogicos o socio-econ´omicos, y escala. Estas preguntas deber´ıan ayudar en la formulaci´on de definiciones claras y pr´acticas del impacto para encajar mejor con contextos cient´ıficos, de las partes interesadas o legislativos espec´ıficos. | sp_ZA |
