Research into the management of Invasive Alien Species Research Institute for Nature and Forest
Decision support for the management of invasive alien species in and along navigable waterways (EVINBO) Research Institute for Nature and Forest
In concrete terms the project aims to answer the following questions:
● Which alien invasive species should De Vlaamse Waterweg nv deal with as a priority and which management objectives should be pursued?
● On which ...

A stitch in time saves nine - Developing an aquatic invasive alien species management framework based on novel eDNA methods KU Leuven
Invasive alien species (IAS) are a leading cause of global biodiversity loss, particularly in freshwater ecosystems, costing billions annually in control measures and ecological impacts. The most efficient strategy to counter IAS is to rapidly respond to incipient invasions. Because the early detection of aquatic IAS via conventional surveillance methods can be challenging, molecular tools such as environmental DNA (eDNA) are increasingly ...
Follow-up of Invasive Alien Species: Valorising data to support policy and management Ghent University
Imagine a future where dynamically, from year to year, we can track the progression of alien species (AS), identify emerging species, assess their current and future risk and timely inform policy in a seamless data-driven workflow. One that is built on open science and open data infrastructures. By using international biodiversity standards and facilities, we would ensure interoperability, repeatability and sustainability. This would make ...
