size and growth, dispersal of invasive species propagules in global trade, direct
and indirect disturbance by human activity, human values and culture, and the
organization of the scientific academy in researching invasion biology.
Utilization and exploitation of the highly adapted traits for invasion may pro-
vide a benefit to humans, as well as provide impetus to preserve valuable
germplasm resources from changes in agroecosystems with the introduction of
new biotechnologies.
