Abstract
This publication describes why invasive species are an important issue in Florida and how nonnative species become invasive by moving through five stages of human-aided biological invasion. Written by Deah Lieurance, Amy Kendig, and Christina Romagosa, and published by the UF/IFAS Agronomy Department, July 2022.
