Towards Sustainability through Environmental Awareness. Impacts of Biological Invasions

Dr Montserrat Vilà, research professor at Estación Biológica de Doñana (EBD-CSIC) in Seville (Spain) will give a presentation on the impacts of biological invasions with special emphasis on a global analysis of the ecological effects of alien plants on native species and ecosystems in the introduced range. The talk will also describe how impacts are quantified, as well some ways to conduct risk analysis of invasion in Europe.
A panel of experts, Prof Rick Shine, Prof Peter Banks, and Dr Ross Gloag, will lead an insightful discussion with Dr Vila on the impacts of biological invasions in the Australian context.
