Description While preventative invasive species management is often considered the most cost-effective, there remains a lack of investment in early action for biological invasions. Through statistical modeling, they also identify trends in the degree of proactive (pre-invasion) and reactive (post-invasion) management across species, countries, and time. What the researchers found was a disproportionate amount of spending on post-invasion; over 25 times more than that spent on preventative management.
