About this book

The Bonin (Ogasawara) Islands, part of a remote Japanese archipelago, are a typical hot spot of biological invasion. Indigenous fauna and flora, which had long evolved in isolation, suffered devastating deforestation and invasion by multiple alien species in the twentieth century. Studies on the impacts of green anoles, flatworms, goats, cats, black rats, and tree and shrub species, among others, have led to new policies in an attempt to arrest the irreversible damage to the island biota.

Restoring the Oceanic Island Ecosystem provides an overview of the research findings and countermeasures necessary for the successful management of island ecosystems. Based on research conducted over multiple species, Restoring the Oceanic Island Ecosystem provides a unique perspective on the integration of conservation projects running simultaneously in the Bonin Islands and on the diversity of their impacts.

"This book is an important source for invasion biologists. [...] all of the chapters are interesting and, as a comprehensive entree into the invasion biology of a remarkable but little known archipelago, Restoring the Oceanic Island Ecosystem is invaluable."
- Daniel Simberloff, Biological Invasions, Vol. 14, 2012
