Biological invasions are well recognized a leading threat to the structure and function of ecosystems. Our research aims to advance the science, management and policy of invasive species with the goal of providing information on ecological impacts, elucidating introduction pathways and weighing the costs and benefits of considering prevention versus mitigation strategies for existing or potential invaders.
