This new volume on Biological Invasions deals with both plants and
animals, differing from previous books by extending from the
species to an ecosystem and global level. Its 22 chapters cover
pathways of biological invasions (e.g. ballast water, waterways),
traits of successful invaders (e.g. chemical weapons, empty
niches), patterns of invasion and invasibility (e.g. man-induced
predisposition by fire, land use and eutrophication, the role of
climate change) as well as ecological impacts (e.g. food web
shifts, genetic pollution), economy and socio-economy (e.g.
ecosystem services and monetary valuation), and prevention and
management of biological invasions (e.g. phytosanitary measures,
biological control, particularly in view of globalisation). Topics
of highest societal relevance, like impact of genetically modified
organisms, are interlinked with more conventional ecological
aspects, including biodiversity. The combination of these
approaches is new and will make compelling reading for the public
sector, too.
