The magnitude of this issue demands a thorough understanding of the invasion process, which consists of three main stages: initial dispersal, establishment of self-sustaining populations, and spread. To assess the relative distribution of research effort among these stages, we conducted a literature review using 873 articles published in 23 major journals over the past 10 years. Of the 873 papers, only 96 (11.0%) studied initial dispersal, and only half of these (6.2% of the total) were empirical. As the first stage in a contingent process, we argue that initial dispersal is the best stage during which to direct management efforts. In addition, initial dispersal has direct relevance for fundamental ecological questions regarding community assembly and metacommunity dynamics. In so far that answering these questions and preventing invasion are goals of ecologists, the disparity in research effort noted here suggests that ecologists need to expand their efforts to include more research on initial dispersal.

While someattention has focused on ballast water, virtually no effort has been made to address biofouling. This paper offers a quantitative analysis of economic incentives for shippers and regulating ports to address both vectors. The strategies

The Government’s public health watchdog Nice has warned that over 40,000 deaths in the UK are a year is due to junk food and unhealthy eating lifestyle.
Also according to Nice, unhealthy foods have wreaked a terrible toll of ill health on the nation which has placed a substantial strain on the economy.
