Résumé :
|
Written by a world-respected expert on biological invasions; this is an advanced text for students of ecology, population biology and evolution, as well as ecologists, conservationists and naturalists. Knowledge of invasive spaecies and the problem they cause, a subject that as grown substantially in recent years, is succinctly summarized in this topical book. It draws on much of the SCOPE program on the ecology of biological invasions, in which the author was closely involved for some years. The book also draws on the author's many years' experience of teaching the subject. Several colour plates of key invasive species are included and the book discusses the vital questions raised by biological control and the release of genetically modified organismes.
