Their migrations are monitored as closely as possible around the world to conserve native ecosystems and their resident species.Long standing British speculation that the native bluebell (Hyacinthoides non-scripta) could be wiped out as a result hybridisation with rampant ‘invaders’ from the Iberian Peninsula appears to have been unnecessary.

The new approach requires minimal low-cost materials and is simple enough to be carried out by everyone at the site of discovery and complements the scientific expertise of researchers.
