The Impact of Non‑Native Species on the Indigenous Fauna and Flora

Section: Conservation Biology

Responsible staff: Axel Hochkirch

Research strategy: Understanding and Preserving Nature, Society and Natural History

Invasive alien species represent a significant threat to many animal and plant species. The Ecology Section analyses the interactions between invasive animal and plant species and native species, and develops strategies aimed at reducing this impact.

It also examines the spread of neobiota and provides the public with relevant information.
