Managing natural systems is fundamentally an exercise in managing the human behaviors that affect those systems. In particular, the human-mediated movement of live animals, vectors, or infectious material is a well-documented vector for the spread of invasive species and emergence of novel pathogens in many contexts, but especially in inland freshwater systems. Accordingly, the increasing rate of biotic invasions in these systems is an ongoing challenge that requires an understanding of the human behaviors that facilitate their spread.
