Freshwater fish have been widely introduced worldwide, and freshwater ecosystems are
among those most affected by biological invasions. Consequently, freshwater fish invasions …

This review provides a contemporary account of knowledge on aspects of introductions of
non‐native fish species and includes issues associated with introduction pathways …

The western honey bee (Apis mellifera) is the most frequent floral visitor of crops worldwide,
but quantitative knowledge of its role as a pollinator outside of managed habitats is largely …

How do we explain the remarkably abrupt changes that sometimes occur in nature and
society--and can we predict why and when they happen? This book offers a comprehensive …

Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) pose threats to conservation and public health. Here,
we apply the definition of EIDs used in the medical and veterinary fields to botany and …

Parasites have evolved independently in numerous animal lineages, and they now make up
a considerable proportion of the biodiversity of life. Not only do they impact humans and …

A recent trend in invasion ecology relates the success of non‐indigenous species (NIS) to
reduced control by enemies such as pathogens, parasites and predators (ie the enemy …

We present a framework for explaining variation in predator invasion success and predator
impacts on native prey that integrates information about predator–prey naïveté, predator and …

Research in the effects of climate change on plant disease continues to be limited, but some
striking progress has been made. At the genomic level, advances in technologies for the …

Niche‐based models calibrated in the native range by relating species observations to
climatic variables are commonly used to predict the potential spatial extent of species' …
