Description
Biological invasions pose a significant threat to global biodiversity, but can also provide interesting insight into ecological theory.
I will highlight how I’ve used amphibian invasions to test and develop niche theory, and the ways in which theory can help us manage invasions.
I will also touch on how I have used environmental DNA sampling to monitor the spread of new incursions.
