Description
The USGS is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU partner for research in a novel biosurveillance approach based on modeling first records of non-native species. Quickly locating new populations of non-native species can reduce the ecological and economic costs of species invasions. The development of an Early Detection and Rapid Response (EDRR) strategy requires real-world testing and integration with rapid assessment and response. This project will implement EDRR to test whether models of first records can successfully be used to guide biosurveillance.
