About this title

Synopsis

This new reference deals with both plants and animals, differing from previous references by extending from the species to an ecosystem and global level. Its 22 chapters cover pathways of biological invasions, traits of successful invaders, patterns of invasion and invasibility as well as ecological impacts, economy and socio-economy, and prevention and management of biological invasions.

Review

From the reviews:

"This book is truly outstanding. It addresses basically all relevant aspects of biological invasions. a ] In conclusion, this is an excellent book of enormous breadth and scope. Especially for students entering the field of biological invasions this is probably the best book to start with because it both represents a broad introduction to all aspects of invasion and at the same time a unique collection of up-to-date reviews. Scholars of biological invasions will like this book, too." (Daniel Prati, Basic and Applied Ecology, Vol. 9, 2008)
