Biological invasions in changing ecosystems : vectors, ecological impacts, management and predictions

Biological invasions in changing ecosystems vectors, ecological impacts, management and predictions

When organisms are deliberately or accidentally introduced into a new ecosystem a biological invasion may take place. These so-called 'invasive species' may establish, spread and ecologically alter the invaded community. Biological invasions by animals, plants, pathogens or vectors are one...
