Discussion/Quiz questions to accompany Hulme et al., 2008
1. Name and describe two of the six principal pathways of invasion outlined in this paper.
2. Figure 1 shows typical invasion pathways broken down by taxonomic group. Choose one example group (e.g., terrestrial vertebrates) and describe its typical introduction pathway(s). Are any other taxonomic groups most commonly introduced via this pathway?
3. Figure 2 defines pathways of invasion and gives examples of regulations that could reduce each pathway. Describe one regulation that could reduce risk from unintentional introduction and one regulation that could reduce risk from intentional introduction.
4. Are invasive species likely to continue to be introduced in the future? Why or why not? (use evidence from the paper to support your argument)
