The project fully answers the question by providing information on the impacts of invasive non-native species on natural ecosystems and how to manage them.
This fellowship proposal plans to increase our capacity to predict the ways and magnitude in which non-native invasive species will cause damaging ecological impact and under what environmental scenarios. This will drast...

The project focuses on predicting the impacts of non-native invasive species on ecosystems, aligning with the question's objective.
Invasive Non Native Species (INNS) are animals and plants that have been introduced (as a result of human activity) outside their normal range, and which have negative effects on our economy, biodiversity and even health...

The project partially answers the question by focusing on reducing the risk of introduction and spread of invasive non-native species in river catchments, but does not specifically address the impacts on natural ecosystems or as vectors of disease.
