Title E-commerce trade in invasive plants
Author Franziska Humair, Luc Humair, Fabian Kuhn and Christoph Kueffer
Date 2015-06-15
Description Our results indicate that biosecurity is not effectively regulating online plant trade. In the future, automated monitoring of e-commerce may help prevent the spread of invasive species, provide information on emerging trade connectivity across national borders, and be used in horizon scanning exercises for early detection of new species and their geographic source areas in international trade.
