Exotic invasive organisms ('neobiota') represent a challenge for the agricultural sector, with the increase in international trade and human mobility encouraging their introduction and spread. Since they can disrupt agricultural systems, studying their ecological traits and harmfulness allows the development of sustainable control strategies. The 'Neobiota' Research Group investigates these issues.
