Fig 5. Invasion hotspots in India delineated through intersection of ecoregions, multi-species ecological niche model consensus, and anthropogenic biomes.

The delineated areas cover >50 percent area of various ecoregions, are climatically suitable for a large number of invasive alien species, and have signature of diverse anthropogenic activities. The boundary files on biodiversity hotspots were overlaid on the modelled invasion hotspots matches to portray the level of threat to these areas from invasive alien species.
