Hello @JuliaHB1 , hope you are well . Your comment about @GretaThunberg is un-researched , ill informed and from my perspective insulting too . You are most welcome to try to exploit and manipulate me on your programme , but please note , the likes of Greta and I are a tad sharp

Advancing impact assessments of non-native species: strategies for strengthening the evidence-base

The numbers and impacts of non-native species (NNS) continue to grow. Multiple ranking protocols have been developed to identify and manage the most damaging species. However, existing protocols...
