Non-native creatures known as freshwater invasive alien species (IAS)
were mistakenly or purposely discharged into nearby water bodies,
where they disrupted the ecosystem and caused damage to the invaded
habitat. Environmental deoxyribonucleic acid (eDNA) analyses have
been utilised successfully in numerous research over the past few years
to identify IAS. However, efforts to find IAS can be conducted more
quickly and effectively with the aid of geographic information systems
(GIS). In this article, we examine the history of IAS in Southeast Asia
and management initiatives that involved the GIS mapping of known
habitat-specific geographical features. This method makes it easy to
detect and separate regions with IAS habitat traits from those without.
Later, eDNA analysis can be used to validate the presence of IAS in places
where it has been discover.. View More»
