Evidence

Commentary

Geography

Conceptual international biosecurity framework

System

Biological invasion entry and secondary dispersal

## WHAT THE EVIDENCE SAYS

Canavan and coauthors separate primary movement into a new biogeographic region from secondary pathways after an invader becomes established. The conceptual distinction highlights different management responsibilities and intervention opportunities.

## WHY IT MATTERS / OUR READ

Port inspection and internal containment are not interchangeable; policy should name which invasion stage it aims to interrupt.

## CAVEATS / UNCERTAINTY

Perspective and proposed classification, not a controlled comparison of global intervention success.
