Dynamic modelling in the scope of biological invasions research and management

摘要: Invasive alien species are increasing in number, extent and impact worldwide, constituting a phenomenon which may lead to important ecological, economic, and social impacts. These species can modify the structure and functioning of ecosystems thus having implications on native biodiversity and ecosystem services. The need to address biological invasions and their impacts has fostered an increasing commitment from the society, politicians and stakeholders to manage invaded ecosystems. Putting forward efficient management plans is, nonetheless, a massive socio-ecological challenge.
