Recent CBMA publications highlight the threat posed by invasive species

Biological invasions are among the leading drivers of global biodiversity loss, with growing impacts on ecosystems, economies, and human well-being

CBMA researcher Ronaldo Sousa, , contributed to two international scientific syntheses published in Biological Reviews, one of the most prestigious journals in Biology.

The studies show that non-native species can profoundly disrupt ecosystem functioning, generate significant economic costs, and interact with other environmental pressures such as climate change. The authors also highlight prevention and early detection as key strategies to reduce these impacts.

This research underscores the critical role of science in informing public policy and biodiversity conservation strategies in an increasingly globalized and changing world.
