Acknowledgements Recognizing the threat of invasive alien species to global biodiversity, the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) asked the parties for urgent action through its Strategic Plan for Biodiversity (2011–2020). It also insisted the parties to reduce the rate of biodiversity loss by 2020. Besides, the objectives of the strategic plan (Aichi Targets 9) clearly stated that, by 2020, invasive alien species and pathways are identified and prioritized, priority species are controlled or eradicated, and measures are in place to manage pathways to prevent their introduction and establishment. Every parties needs certain additional effort to achieve Aichi Target 9. Considering the above facts NBA, has constituted an expert committee on invasive alien species to address the issues. The major objectives of the committee is to bring out a comprehensive list of invasive alien species of India and also develop and review the existing management strategies. The list of experts and the other contributors is placed in the annexure. CEBPOL and NBA acknowledges Dr. D. Narasimhan. Dr. Vidhyadhar Atkore, Mr. Nitya Prakash Mohanty and Mr. S. Vinothkumar for their comments. We specially thank our Norwegian partners and MoEF&CC for their support. Introduction Globally, invasive alien species have been considered as a grave threat to the biodiversity, ecosystem services and functions, human livelihoods and health and regional economy. Studies, in the recent past, have confirmed that the invasive species also have the potential to significantly alter the regional and global climate for example, several invasive plants accelerate the nitrogen and CO2 deposition, and thereby increase their levels in earth systems which in turn contribute to “global” warming, which changes the regional and global precipitation patterns (Michunas and Lauenroth1995; Dukes and Mooney, 1999; Asner et al., 2006; Field et al., 2007). Besides, researchers identified that one-sixth of the global land surface is highly vulnerable to bio-invasion (Early et al., 2016). On the other hand, increasing globalization facilitates more alien introductions in several parts of the world. Recen reports highlighted that international trade is a primary source of new introductions of invasive alien spices as stowaways or contaminants in goods and packing materials.. Especially, pet animals and ornamental plants trade through online is one of the major sources of exotic plant and animal introductions. This uncontrolled/unnoticed online trade leads to frequent escape or release of invasive alien species into wild (Early et al., 2016). Ironically, most of the countries, especially developing countries, have limited capacity to act against such alien introductions (Early et al., 2016). Ecological modelling studies on biological invasions have predicted that, in the coming days, developing countries will face more threats rather than the developed countries. Studies also highlighted that developing countries must prepare for a new suite of invasive species, as climate change disturbs resident ecosystems (Early et al., 2016). Besides, it is a fact that most of the countries do not have a comprehensive list of invasive alien species reported in their respective territories. Considering the large-scale negative impacts of invasive alien species on global biodiversity, Aichi Target 9 states ‘By the year 2020, invasive alien species and pathways are identified and prioritized, priority species are controlled or eradicated and measures are in place to manage pathways to prevent their introduction and establishment.’ Keeping this in view most of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) signatory countries initiated steps for identification and prioritization of some aggressive and wide spread invasive flora and fauna that are threatening the regional biodiversity, human health and agriculture (Early et al., 2016). Indian Scenario In India, many research organizations (government and non-government), state and central universities and colleges have initiated to document invasive alien species and their impacts on different ecosystems. Many studies have also been focusing on alien plants in different ecosystems. Indian researchers adopted numerous Invasive Alien Species of India 1 methodologies and approaches to study the alien flora during the last two decades. These include floristic and faunistic surveys and documentation, mapping,

During the present study, a total of 675 moth specimens were collected from the study area which represented 112 species from 16 families and eight super families. Though much of the species has been reported earlier from other parts of India, 15 species were first records for the state of Kerala. The highest species richness was shown by the family Erebidae and the least by the families Lasiocampidae, Uraniidae, Notodontidae, Pyralidae, Yponomeutidae, Zygaenidae and Hepialidae with one species each. The results of this preliminary study are promising; it sheds light on the unknown biodiversity of Vagamon hills which needs to be strengthened through comprehensive future surveys.

  • A Review of Sampling and Monitoring Methods for Beneficial Arthropods
    insects Review A Review of Sampling and Monitoring Methods for Beneficial Arthropods in Agroecosystems Kenneth W. McCravy Department of Biological Sciences, Western Illinois University, 1 University Circle, Macomb, IL 61455, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-309-298-2160 Received: 12 September 2018; Accepted: 19 November 2018; Published: 23 November 2018 Abstract: Beneficial arthropods provide many important ecosystem services. In agroecosystems, pollination and control of crop pests provide benefits worth billions of dollars annually. Effective sampling and monitoring of these beneficial arthropods is essential for ensuring their short- and long-term viability and effectiveness. There are numerous methods available for sampling beneficial arthropods in a variety of habitats, and these methods can vary in efficiency and effectiveness. In this paper I review active and passive sampling methods for non-Apis bees and arthropod natural enemies of agricultural pests, including methods for sampling flying insects, arthropods on vegetation and in soil and litter environments, and estimation of predation and parasitism rates. Sample sizes, lethal sampling, and the potential usefulness of bycatch are also discussed. Keywords: sampling methodology; bee monitoring; beneficial arthropods; natural enemy monitoring; vane traps; Malaise traps; bowl traps; pitfall traps; insect netting; epigeic arthropod sampling 1. Introduction To sustainably use the Earth’s resources for our benefit, it is essential that we understand the ecology of human-altered systems and the organisms that inhabit them. Agroecosystems include agricultural activities plus living and nonliving components that interact with these activities in a variety of ways. Beneficial arthropods, such as pollinators of crops and natural enemies of arthropod pests and weeds, play important roles in the economic and ecological success of agroecosystems.

  • Changing Jellyfish Populations: Trends in Large Marine Ecosystems
    CHANGING JELLYFISH POPULATIONS: TRENDS IN LARGE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS by Lucas Brotz B.Sc., The University of British Columbia, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Oceanography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2011 © Lucas Brotz, 2011 Abstract Although there are various indications and claims that jellyfish have been increasing at a global scale in recent decades, a rigorous demonstration to this effect has never been presented. As this is mainly due to scarcity of quantitative time series of jellyfish abundance from scientific surveys, an attempt is presented here to complement such data with non- conventional information from other sources. This was accomplished using the analytical framework of fuzzy logic, which allows the combination of information with variable degrees of cardinality, reliability, and temporal and spatial coverage. Data were aggregated and analysed at the scale of Large Marine Ecosystem (LME). Of the 66 LMEs defined thus far, which cover the world’s coastal waters and seas, trends of jellyfish abundance (increasing, decreasing, or stable/variable) were identified (occurring after 1950) for 45, with variable degrees of confidence. Of these 45 LMEs, the overwhelming majority (31 or 69%) showed increasing trends. Recent evidence also suggests that the observed increases in jellyfish populations may be due to the effects of human activities, such as overfishing, global warming, pollution, and coastal development. Changing jellyfish populations were tested for links with anthropogenic impacts at the LME scale, using a variety of indicators and a generalized additive model. Significant correlations were found with several indicators of ecosystem health, as well as marine aquaculture production, suggesting that the observed increases in jellyfish populations are indeed due to human activities and the continued degradation of the marine environment.
