ECOLOGICAL NICHE MODELING AS A PREDICTIVE TOOL: ASIATIC FRESHWATER FISHES IN NORTH AMERICA
A major problem with invasive aquatic species is that they are almost impossible to eradicate once established. Hence, the best method to prevent establishment of such species is to assess their invasive potential proactively and respond appropriately. After introduction, the most effective way is …
