A recent review paper on the African sharptooth catfish (Clarias gariepinus) has highlighted the urgent need for impact studies.
A recent study by Thabiso Mokotjomela (Research Fellow, University of the Witwatersrand) and colleagues at the C·I·B (core team members Karen Esler & Colleen Downs) found that a few garden birds, such as the red-winged starlings can help the spread of alien invasive plants.
A collaboration between C·I·B researchers and managers from the City of Cape Town’s (CoCTs) Green Jobs Unit resulted in the development of a framework specifically to help managers manage invasive species in cities.
A recent paper by Sabrina Kumschick, C·I·B Core Team Member, together with C·I·B Director Dave Richardson and C·I·B Associate Tim Blackburn investigated whether the birds on the “100 worst” lists are indeed worthy of this honour.
A recent study by C·I·B post-doctoral fellow, Michelle Jackson, found that invasive species can have effects that reach across different ecosystems.
