In the era of Anthropocene, an ability to predict the rate at which an alien invasive species spreads its range in a new habitat in response to climate change is of growing importance. The ability of modelling tools to predict the potential areas of spread can help in prioritizing for effective management of invasive species. Further, the methods used for modelling range spread of an alien invasive species can also be employed to assess the distributional implications of the species in response to climate change. An exotic weed Ethulia gracilis (Family Asteraceae), was recently found for the first time in India growing along the road side and in fallow lands. This raised serious issue of concern as the species can invade rapidly. In this study, we identified potential habitats of the species & areas where the species can invade both under current and future climate scenarios using ecological niche model. Our study highlights that climate change can accelerate the potential spread of the species in future.
