Non-native species Exotic species are those species that humans or other activities have either intentionally or

direct consequence of the rising populations (For example, Solomon Islands). Indigenous people of the Pacific damaged many landscapes and habitats upon settlement. Deforestation (linked to logging) was a major disturbance on the islands of the South Pacific. On the contrary, the early settlers also learnt self-subsistence farming and positive forestry practices that are still widely used today (Clarke, 1990). Researchers have found a strong linkage between population size and depletion of natural resources

invasive species. These standard methods include kick sampling, electrofishing and baited traps sequencing (Keller et al. 2011). All these techniques have the common aim to detect and in early stage eradicate invasive species under Minimum Viable Population Density (MVPD), under which further survival of species has a low probability (Peay 2001). Nevertheless, these monitoring protocols have pitfalls and consequently, eradication measures fail to bring the desired

the colonial period, the birth rate was high but the life expectancy was low. It was common for people to live up until their mid-thirties and families consisted of six to eight children, of which usually just three survived past childhood. The population of the colonies rose to over two million by 1765. The birth rate and life
