Crossing Frontiers in tackling pathways of biological invasions
Substantial progress has been made in understanding how pathways underlie and mediate biological invasions. However, key features of
their role in invasions remain poorly understood, available knowledge is widely scattered, and major frontiers in research and management
are insufficiently characterized. We review the state of the art, highlight recent advances, identify pitfalls and constraints, and discuss major
challenges in four broad fields of pathway research and management: pathway classification, application of pathway information, management
response, and management impact. We present approaches to describe and quantify pathway attributes (e.g., spatiotemporal changes, proxies of
introduction effort, environmental and socioeconomic contexts) and how they interact with species traits and regional characteristics. We also
provide recommendations for a research agenda with particular focus on emerging (or neglected) research questions and present new analytical
tools in the context of pathway research and management.
