Basin-based science and management of freshwater invasive species

Puntos clave

• Freshwater invasive species can drastically reduce local biodiversity, threatening ecosystem health and resilience.
• The analysis indicates a direct correlation between invasive species presence and decreased native species populations.
• Basin-based management strategies were employed to assess the extent of these invasions across various ecosystems.
• Addressing these invasive species is crucial for conserving ecosystem services and maintaining biodiversity.
