Summary
Biological invasions by expanding invasive species pose significant environmental and economic threats. Addressing these complex pest issues requires integrated strategies due to global trade and climate change.
Area of Science:
- Ecology
- Environmental Science
- Agricultural Science
Background:
- Invasive species are expanding their geographic distribution, establishing in new, previously pest-free areas.
- These biological invasions result in substantial environmental and economic damage globally.
- Factors like climate change, human mobility, and international trade exacerbate the invasive pest problem.
