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 of the greatest environmental and economic threats and, along with habitat destruction, a leading cause of global biodiversity loss. In Biological Invasions in Changing Ecosystems, more than 50 worldwide invasion scientists cover our current understanding of biological invasions, its impacts, patterns and mechanisms in both aquatic and terrestrial systems.
João Canning-Clode is a marine ecologist with particular research interest in non-indigenous species and invasion ecology
"[...] In short, this book is a nice addition to the invasion ecology literature and although not all of the chapters may be essential reading for everyone, J. Canning-Clode has done a good job to ensure that there is still a wide appeal."
– Gary Clewley, BTO book reviews
