Invasive Species

Vectors and Management Strategies

Recent years have seen a steep rise in invasions of non-native species in virtually all major ecoregions on Earth.

Invasive Species presents extensive information and new analyses on mechanisms of species transfer, or vectors, as the latest contribution from the Global Invasive Species Programme (GISP).
