- W42818739 abstract "Conservation of native Hawaiian insects and suppression of invasive species are intrinsically connected propositions. The isolation of the Hawaiian Islands has produced a large endemic insect fauna that is ill equipped to compete with the onslaught of species that have been intentionally or inadvertently unleashed. However, most of the data needed to effectively preserve natives and control invasive species is lacking. Research on the impacts of invasive species, the mechanisms of the impacts, and control methods has just begun. Funding efforts have likely been hampered by legislation which ignores, or gives very low priority to insect conservation. Better cooperation and support between insect conservationists, biological control specialists, botanists, and other branches of research are needed. Additionally, Hawaiian entomologists must inspire the public at a grassroots level in order to increase support for insect conservation. Biologists concerned with preserving Hawaiian ecosystems and agriculture must recognize the extensive common ground we share, and identify ways to support each other towards the accomplishment of common goals. Introduction Due to their isolated location, it is estimated that before human contact a new species established in Hawaii on average once every 70,000–90,000 years (Ziegler 2002, p. 166). Since the first humans arrived, the number of invasive species arriving in Hawaii has increased dramatically. While intact, diverse ecosystems tend to be relatively resistant to new invaders (Van Ruijven et al. 2003, Kennedy et al. 2002), invasive species have penetrated all Hawaiian ecosystems (Henneman and Memmott 2001), making it impossible to know what an intact, or more resistant, Hawaiian assemblage might have been. Invasive species are establishing in Hawaii in increasing numbers, largely due to increasing trade and tourism (Reimer and Oishi, this issue). These invaders have likely been the most important cause of native species decline and extinction (Loope and Krushelnycky, this issue), making insect conservation biologists and invasive species biologists natural partners in mutually beneficial efforts. However, despite such common ground, very little research has been done on the impacts or pathways by which invasive species impact native species. Once the most detrimental invasive species have been identified, control methods (again a shared goal of invasive species and conservation biologists) can follow. While this isolation has probably made native Hawaiian species more vulnerable to invasive competitors, it also potentially provides a buffer against even greater rates of introduction if quarantine efforts are properly supported. Based on reports in this issue, it seems likely that a properly supported and staffed department of agriculture could significantly reduce the rate of new introductions. This might not be possible in a mainland system where physical connections and personal vehicle traffic make thorough inspections impractical at nearly any imaginable level of staffing. In this paper I suggest a scale and strategy for" @default.
