Although range expansions have occurred recurrently in the history of most species, their
genetic consequences have been little investigated. Theoretical studies show that range …

Invasions by exotic species represent both threats to ecosystems as well as opportunities to
learn more about them. Among the invaders that will have the largest impacts are those that …

Metapopulation is the ecological term for assemblages of plant and animal species within
larger areas of space, with long-term survival of the species depending on a shifting balance …

Many ecological phenomena may be modelled using apparently random processes
involving space (and possibly time). Such phenomena are classified as spatial in their …

Written by a world-respected scientist on the subject of the book, this is an advanced text for
students of ecology, population biology and evolution, as well as professional ecologists …

Biological invasions are increasingly commonplace, driven primarily by the accidental
human transport of exotic species via ship** or trade. The economic impacts can be …

Most of the fundamental elements of ecology, ranging from individual behavior to species
abundance, diversity, and population dynamics, exhibit spatial variation. Partial differential …

This book assembles detailed information on the components of the invasive-species
problem from the USA, British Isles, Australia, South Africa, India and Brazil. Data provided …

We review and synthesize recent developments in the study of the spread of invasive
species, emphasizing both empirical and theoretical approaches. Recent theoretical work …

The characteristics of invading species were explored using the Ecological Flora Database,
and by using comparisons available in other studies. Invasion success has been related to …
