Globalization of trade and travel has facilitated the spread of non-native species across the
earth. A proportion of these species become established and cause serious environmental …

Managing the pathways by which non-native species are introduced and spread is
considered the most effective way of preventing species invasions. Tourism and outdoor …

This book shows scientists how to apply their analysis and synthesis skills to overcoming the
challenge of how to write, as well as what to write, to maximise their chances of publishing in …

Biological invasions depend in part on the resistance of native communities. Meta‐analyses
of terrestrial experiments demonstrate that native primary producers and herbivores …

Ecological theory attempts to predict how impacts for native species arise from biological
invasions. A fundamental question centres on the feeding interactions of invasive and native …

Local plant community assembly is influenced by a series of filters that affect the recruitment
and establishment of species. These filters include regional factors that limit seeds of any …

Ecosystems are marvelous assemblages of individuals that grow, reproduce, interact with
one another, move about in space, and eventually die. Ecosystems also provide essential …

Climate change will modify ecosystems, but a dearth of long‐term data sets on critical
ecological factors makes prediction of mechanistic pathways and scope for ecological …

The mechanisms by which non-indigenous species overcome resistance in native
communities are not well understood but are fundamental to the ability of invaders to persist …

Disturbances such as fire provide an opportunity for invasive plant species to exploit newly
created niche space. Whether initial invaders facilitate, compete with, or do not affect later …
