Ecological science, the Biosphere

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.

Reviews for Invasion Ecology

<p> Summing Up: Highly recommended. Lower-divisionundergraduates through graduate students, researchers/faculty, landmanagers, policy makers, and interested generalreaders. (Choice, 1 February 2014) <p> Young scientists starting out in this field who read thisbook will not only gain an appreciation of our current state ofknowledge, but, perhaps more importantly, will also learn where ourknowledge is limited and what research questions are prime fortackling. (Biological Conservation, 1 January2014) <p> This is certainly by far still the best introduction tothis important topic around, and those that bought the firstedition should snap this one up also for the increased topicality.The work is also available in various electronic formats, whichshould further encourage its take-up by the current studentgeneration. (Biodivers Conserv, 1 September 2013) <p> Overall, I can fully recommend this book. As the 1stedition, this 2nd edition will be valuable for students,researchers, managers, and anybody else interested in bio- logicalinvasions. It reads very well and is technically well done; Ispotted only few typos. The companion website(www.wiley.com/go/invasionecology) with down- loadable versions ofthe book s figures and tables is also veryuseful. (Basic and Applied Ecology, 1 October2013)
