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. Meghan Brown
"I study both lakes and terrestrial islands, which are ecological kissing cousins because their relative isolation creates a sensitivity to non-native species introductions," says Dr. Meghan Brown, an academic scientist at Hobart & William Smith Colleges.
Lessons learned from a widespread invader | Research summary
