It is well established that nonnative species are a key driver of global environmental change,
but much less is known about the underlying drivers of nonnative species outbreaks …

ABSTRACT A changing climate may directly or indirectly influence biological invasions by
altering the likelihood of introduction or establishment, as well as modifying the geographic …

Biological invasions exert multiple pervasive effects on ecosystems, potentially disrupting
species interactions and global ecological processes. Our ability to successfully predict and …

Unprecedented rates of introduction and spread of non-native species pose burgeoning
challenges to biodiversity, natural resource management, regional economies, and human …

Standardised terminology in science is important for clarity of interpretation and
communication. In invasion science–a dynamic and rapidly evolving discipline–the …

Study of the impacts of biological invasions, a pervasive component of global change, has
generated remarkable understanding of the mechanisms and consequences of the spread …

While research on biological invasions is becoming more predictive (eg, Mack 1996; Kolar
and Lodge 2001; Peterson 2003; Arim et al. 2006; Mitchell et al. 2006), significant …

We describe here the ecological and evolutionary processes that modulate the effects of
invasive species over time, and argue that such processes are so widespread and important …

Substantial populations of invasive non-indigenous species occasionally collapse
dramatically. Although disease is often invoked, the causes are rarely studied …

This new edition of Invasion Ecology provides a comprehensive and updated introduction to
all aspects of biological invasion by non-native species. Highlighting important research …
