Trouble on the horizon: anticipating biological invasions through futures thinking
PE Hulme - Biological Reviews, 2025 - Wiley Online Library
Anticipating future biosecurity threats to prevent their occurrence is the most cost‐effective
strategy to manage invasive alien species. Yet, biological invasions are complex, highly …

Projecting the continental accumulation of alien species through to 2050
Biological invasions have steadily increased over recent centuries. However, we still lack a
clear expectation about future trends in alien species numbers. In particular, we do not know …
