Abstract
Economic activity both spreads introduced species and suffers their consequences, while some introductions can also generate financial benefits. This seminar examines that complicated relationship and why invasions receive uneven attention from policymakers. It considers how economic concepts and decision tools adapted to biodiversity conservation can clarify costs, incentives and management choices.
