Welcome to Aquatic Invasive Alien Species Research Group (INVAQUATIC)

Our research group specializes in management of invasive alien species in freshwater, coastal, and marine ecosystems. We integrate ecology, genetics, and environmental monitoring to understand invasion processes and their impacts, and to develop science-based strategies for biodiversity conservation and ecosystem resilience. Our group focuses on freshwater, coastal, and marine environments that are increasingly threatened by biological invasions driven by global trade, climate change, and human activities.
