Invasive species are a major modern threat to biodiversity, affecting a wide range of natural environments, causing significant economic harm, and impacting quality of life globally. To address these challenges, our institute is actively conducting research aimed at improving management strategies, developing early detection methods, and enhancing restoration efforts to mitigate the impacts of invasive species.
The mission of the UF Invasion Science Research Institute (ISRI) is to facilitate interdisciplinary research to advance our understanding of the causes and consequences of invasive species; generate innovative approaches to reduce invasions and their impacts on natural, agricultural, and urban systems; and train the next generation of invasion scientists. Our seed funding scheme this year aims to focus on understanding the economic and societal impacts of invasive species and their control.
