Rachael E. Goodhue and Gregory McKee, Guest Editors

Invasive species policy problems are characterized by substantial uncertainty regarding biological interactions/processes and economic relationships. Critical mistakes regarding policy choices can be made if such relationships are not properly considered. Each article in this set identifies a key lesson for invasive species-related actions and policy.
