Can we predict risky human behaviour involving invasive species? A case study of the release of fishes to the wild

2015-01-01

Managing risky human behaviour involving invasive species, such as unauthorized stocking or the release of pets to the wild, is difficult because the rationale for risk taking is often unknown. To identify factors that increase the likelihood of risky behaviour, we conducted social surveys and analyzed perceptions about invasive species, natural resource management, social norms, and outreach initiatives for live...
