Invasive alien speciesPhys Org

Australia is home to about 3,000 "alien" species of animals, plants, fungi and microbes.
Alien species are those brought by humans to areas they do not naturally occur in.
These intruders are Australia 's leading cause of biodiversity loss and species extinction.
They cost the Australian economy some A$24.5 billion a year.
But which species will arrive next? Our study helps identify the animals Australia should be looking out for.
In future, we hope our tool will be applied to other animal groups and plants to identify invaders looming on our horizons. Provided by The Conversation.
