The Mediterranean Basin, California, Chile, the western Cape of
South Africa and southern Australia share a Mediterranean climate
characterized by cool wet winters and hot dry summers. These five
regions have differing patterns of human settlement but
similarities in natural vegetation and some faunal assemblages. The
similarities are being enhanced by an increasing level of biotic
exchange between the regions as time passes since European
settlement in each region. This unique documentation of the
introduced floras and faunas in these five regions of Mediterranean
climate both increases our understanding of the ecology of
biological invasions, and points the way to more effective
management of the biota of these regions. This book is an
initiative of a subcommittee of SCOPE (Scientific Committee on
Problems of the Environment) which realized that the integrity of
many natural ecosystems was being threatened by the ingress of
invasive species.
