Invasive Species Management Through the Lens of Chemistry

Creative Commons 'BY-NC' version 4.0 license
Abstract

In this "Branching Out" editorial, our guest columnists advocate that the time is now for a new field of conservation chemistry, one which aims to bring the best tools of modern chemistry innovation to the frontlines of conservation. The state-of-the-art medicine with which we rid human patients of cancers with precision can teach us a complementary approach to precision invasive species management and serve as a new tool in the fight to preserve biodiversity and improve planetary health.
