Biological invasions by alien (non-native) species are widely
recognized as a significant component of human-caused global
environmental change and the second most important cause of
biodiversity decline. Alien species threaten many European
ecosystems and have serious environmental, economic and health
impacts. The DAISIE (Delivering Alien Invasive Species Inventories
for Europe) project has now brought together all available
information on alien species in Europe (terrestrial, aquatic and
marine) and from all taxa (fungi, plants, animals). Thus for the
first time, an overview and assessment of biological invasions in
the Pan-European region is finally possible. The Handbook of Alien
Species in Europe summarises the major findings of this
groundbreaking research and addresses the invasion trends,
pathways, and both economic as well as ecological impact for eight
major taxonomic groups. Approximately 11.000 alien species recorded
in Europe are listed, and fact sheets for 100 of the most invasive
alien species are included, each with a distribution map and colour
illustration. The book is complemented by a regularly updated
internet database providing free additional information. With its
highly interdisciplinary approach, DAISIE and its Handbook will be
the basis for future scientific investigations as well as
management and control of alien invasive species in Europe.
