Invasive species have detrimental effects on human health, the economy and native biodiversity. This study will address a major gap in our scientific understanding of invasions by undertaking the first large-scale examination of the role of interactions between species in determining the dynamics and outcomes of biological invasions. The project will integrate data, across four continents, on dispersal, demography, breeding and behavioural interactions into one framework to create a cutting-edge model of invasion dynamics, using the highly invasive common myna as a model system. This novel approach will significantly advance theoretical developments in invasion biology and will inform pest management and threat mitigation efforts globally.

入侵物种对人类健康、经济和本地生物多样性产生有害影响。这项研究将通过对物种之间的相互作用在确定生物入侵的动态和结果方面的作用进行首次大规模检查，来解决我们对入侵的科学理解中的一个重大空白。该项目将把跨越四大洲的关于扩散、人口统计、繁殖和行为相互作用的数据整合到一个框架中，以高度侵入性的普通八哥作为模型系统，创建一个先进的入侵动态模型。这种新方法将大大推进入侵生物学的理论发展，并将为全球害虫管理和减轻威胁的努力提供信息。
