What makes a species invasive? Today on the BioAudio podcast my guest is Dr. Thais Bernos who is an expert in the genetics and genomics of invasive fish species. Her study subject is the tench fish introduced three times to Canada staring in the late 1800s but also introduced around the world as human populations moved and brought a favourite food with them.  Join us to hear about what makes an invasion successful and how their evolutionary and population structure informs management.
