Special Issue on Exotic Species
Humans
have spread non-native animals and plants around the world and have done so at
an unprecedented rate in the last century. The establishment and spread of exotic species are a major threat to
worldwide biodiversity. There are well-documented examples of invading species
that degrade human health and wealth, alter the structure and functioning of
otherwise undisturbed ecosystems, and/or threaten native biological diversity.
In some instances the potential for being beneficial or detrimental in the long
run remains unknown. The effects of exotic
species on natural environments have gained much scrutiny from scientists,
governments, farmers and others.
In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers
and authors to submit original researches and review articles on exploring Exotic Species. Potential topics
include, but are not limited to:
-
Introduced species (plants, animals, fungi or
microorganisms)
-
Invasive exotic diseases
-
Impact of introduced species
-
Control of introduced species
-
Introduced species policy
Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective
authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through
the journal’s Paper Submission System.
Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue”
under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field
“Special Issue –Exotic Species”
should be chosen during your submission.
