An approach that TIEs together actionable research and management | Research summary
To round out the year, we’re sharing an approach that TIEs together actionable research with invasive species management and policy decisions, called Translational Invasion Ecology (TIE).
Global Change & Invasive Species: Priorities for a Path Forward | Research summary
An international team of 19 researchers identify and summarize four critical priority areas to better advance invasion science in an era of rapid global change.
Researcher Spotlight: Dr. Bianca Lopez
"Being able to predict which non-native species are likely to become invasive is kind of a holy grail of invasion biology that we hope to help reach," says Dr. Bianca Lopez, who studies the combined effects of invasive species and environmental change.
Researcher Spotlight: Dr. Jeff Corbin
“There is a wealth of ecological data out there that can be applied to answer questions far beyond the original intentions.” says Jeff, whose studies aim to unlock the drivers of and resistance to invasions.
