Summary

Invasion Ecology offers an in-depth exploration of the science behind species invasions and their impact on ecosystems and human societies. The authors discuss the mechanisms that allow non-native species to establish and spread, and the ecological, evolutionary, and socio-economic consequences that can arise. Addressing real-world case studies and theoretical frameworks, the book provides a critical understanding of how invasions can alter biodiversity and ecosystem services.

This new edition of Invasion Ecology provides a comprehensive and updated introduction to all aspects of biological invasion by non-native species.

Description

This new edition of Invasion Ecology provides a comprehensive and updated introduction to all aspects of biological invasion by non-native species.

Highlighting important research findings associated with each stage of invasion, the book provides an overview of the invasion process from transportation patterns and causes of establishment success to ecological impacts, invader management, and post-invasion evolution.

The authors have produced new chapters on predicting and preventing invasion, managing and eradicating invasive species, and invasion dynamics in a changing climate.

Modern global trade and travel have led to unprecedented movement of non-native species by humans with unforeseen, interesting, and occasionally devastating consequences. Increasing recognition of the problems associated with invasion has led to a rapid growth in research into the dynamics of non-native species and their adverse effects on native biota and human economies.

This book provides a synthesis of this fast-growing field of research and is an essential text for undergraduate and graduate students in ecology and conservation management.
