Biological Invasions

Overview

Research activities projects are focused on biological invasions in freshwater environments.

We are working on:

  • their impacts
  • their distribution on a European scale
  • the methods of control
  • their functional equivalence, i.e. ecosystem services

Innovative methods are used to answer these fundamental and operational questions: resistance tests, phytotoxicity tests, in-situ experiments, mesocosms.
