The lesser Antilles archipelago in the Caribbean is known as a biodiversity hotspot, hosting
many endemic species. However, recent introduction of a highly invasive species, the …

Introductions of invasive non‐native species (and their subsequent impacts) are recognized
as a major threat to native flora and fauna. This is especially true in island ecosystems such …
