Produktbeschreibung
Written by a world-respected scientist on the subject of the book, this is an advanced text for students of ecology, population biology and evolution, as well as professional ecologists, conservationists and naturalists. Knowledge of the invasive species and the problems they cause, a subject that has grown substantially in recent years, is succinctly summarized in this topical book. It draws on much of the SCOPE programme on the ecology of biological invasions, in which the author has been intimately involved for some years. It also draws on the author's many years of experience teaching in the subject. Several superb colour plates of key invasive species are included and the book discusses the vital questions raised by biological control and the release of genetically modified organisms.

Rezensionen
`Biological Invasions is a lively, stimulating and authoritative review of a subject of concern to many conservationists.'
Plant Talk
`...this is a gem of a book, provocative yet scientific, that synthesizes and makes intelligible a large and complex field. One can only envy the third year undergraduates who took the course on which the book's structure is based.'
Journal of Applied Ecology
`...I highly recommend this delightful book to anyone interested in ecology and conservation.'
Israel Journal of Plant Science
`This book is based on sound analyses, with many illustrative examples, of the causes of success and failure in invasions, and of the consequences of those that succeed.'
Ethology, Ecology & Evolution
`This is an interesting and extremely valuable book for anyone interested in ecological geography, community dynamics or ecosystem assembly.'
