Taxonomic bias and lack of cross-taxonomic studies in invasion biology

Publication at Faculty of Science |
2012

Abstract

The paper investigates whether the previously reported taxonomic bias in invasion biology has changed over time. Cross-taxonomic articles-although comprising a greater proportion of articles published in ecology as a whole-are rare in invasion biology and have not increased over time.

Only when taxonomic borders are crossed and knowledge is exchanged across these borders, redundant research in invasion botany and invasion zoology is avoided, and invasion biology becomes truly unified.
