C·I·B researcher analyse pathways of biological invasions

Invasions of alien species begin with the human-assisted movement of living individuals or propagules across biogeo­graphic barriers. As a result, the contributions of specific path­ways to introduction and subsequent invasion—and the changes in the importance of pathways over time—are receiving increasing attention from scientists and poli­cymakers.

Global biodiversity is declining at an alarming rate. Causes of these declines include the destruction of natural habitats as a result of human development, and the introduction of non-native species.
