Abstract

Invazivne strane vrste predstavljaju veliku prijetnju svjetskoj bioraznolikosti te imaju potencijalno negativan socio-ekonomski utjecaj. Jačanje globalizacije ključan je čimbenik za povećano širenje invazivnih stranih vrsta te je radi toga izuzetno važno utvrditi moguće puteve unosa i širenja.
Kategorizacija puteva unosa Konvencije o biološkoj raznolikosti UN-a (Rio de Janeiro, 1992.) donosi alate za determinaciju puteva unosa i širenja za velik broj potencijalnih invazivnih stranih vrsta. Putevi unosa svrstani su u šest kategorija (puštanje, bijeg, kontaminacija, slijepi putnik, koridori i spontano) te podijeljeni u 44 potkategorije. Kroz njih su opisani ključni detalji prilagođeni korisnicima kako bi razumjeli kontekst određenog puta unosa bez potrebe za dodatnom literaturom. Cilj ovog rada je predstaviti puteve unosa kroz opis navedene kategorizacije.
Zaključno, za provedbu procjene rizika invazivnosti stranih vrsta potrebno je razumijevanje važnosti puteva unosa i širenja. Podaci prikupljeni, iz pouzdanih izvora i od strane stručnjaka, mogu biti upotrijebljeni za prioritizaciju puteva unosa te također predstavljaju temelje za razvoj strategija prevencije, monitoringa i iskorjenjivanja, kao i planove upravljanja.

Abstract (english)

Invasive alien species (IAS) present a major threat to global biodiversity with the potential of causing substantial negative socio-economic impacts. An increase in globalization is considered the key factor in the spread of different species all over the world, therefore it is extremely important to identify all possible introduction pathways of IAS.
Pathways categorization of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CDB) (Rio de Janeiro, 1992) presents much needed tools for determining the introduction pathways for a wide variety of potential IAS. Introduction pathways are classified into six main categories (release, escape, transport-contaminants and stowaway, corridors and unaided) and divided into 44 subcategories with user-tailored descriptions of key specifics to comprehend the context of the pathway assignment without requiring additional literature. The aim of this thesis is to present the IAS introduction pathways and to describe the categories within the CBD categorization system.
In conclusion, understanding the importance of IAS pathways is necessary for development of alien species risk assessments. Data collected from reliable sources and by experts can be used for prioritization of introduction pathways and can also provide the basis for development of prevention strategies, monitoring, eradication as well as management plans.
