Wageningen World on ‘Undesirable aliens’
There are more than 400 exotic species in the Netherlands – and counting. They range from old friends such as the muskrat to newcomers like the western conifer seed bug. Steps are taken to stop the advance of some species, while others are left alone. That decision is supported by research.
Wageningen World, the quarterly magazine by Wageningen UR will be delivered through your letterbox today, 14 June 2016. In the new edition you can read the full article ‘Undesirable aliens', about research by Alterra and Wageningen UR into exotic species in the Netherlands.
