This new reference deals with both plants and animals, differing from previous references by extending from the species to an ecosystem and global level. Its 22 chapters cover pathways of biological invasions, traits of successful invaders, patterns of invasion and invasibility as well as ecological impacts, economy and socio-economy, and prevention and management of biological invasions.
