Pest risk modelling and mapping for invasive alien species /

Show other versions (1)

Over the past century, the number of species that have been transported to areas outside their native range has increased steadily. New pests and pathogens place biological pressure on valuable resident species, but strict bans may conflict with trading and travel needs. An overview of how the confl...
