When organisms are deliberately or accidentally introduced into a new ecosystem a biological invasion may take place. These so-called ‘invasive species’ may establish, spread and ecologically alter the invaded community. Biological invasions by animals, plants, pathogens or vectors are one of the greatest environmental and economic threats and, along with habitat destruction, a leading cause of global biodiversity loss. In this book, more than 50 worldwide invasion scientists cover our current understanding of biological invasions, its impacts, patterns and mechanisms in both aquatic and terrestrial systems.

This new edition of Invasion Ecology provides a comprehensive and updated introduction to all aspects of biological invasion by non-native species. Highlighting important research findings associated with each stage of invasion, the book provides an overview of the invasion process from transportation patterns and causes of establishment success to ecological impacts, invader management, and post-invasion evolution. The authors have produced new chapters on predicting and preventing invasion, managing and eradicating invasive species, and invasion dynamics in a changing climate. Modern global trade and travel have led to unprecedented movement of non-native species by humans with unforeseen, interesting, and occasionally devastating consequences. Increasing recognition of the problems associated with invasion has led to a rapid growth in research into the dynamics of non-native species and their adverse effects on native biota and human economies. This book provides a synthesis of this fast growing field of research and is an essential text for undergraduate and graduate students in ecology and conservation management.

Nonindigenous plants and plant pests that find their way to the United States and become invasive can often cause problems. They cost more than $100 billion per year in crop and timber losses plus the expense of herbicides and pesticides. And this figure does not include the costs of invasions in less intensively managed ecosystems such as wetlands. Nonindigenous Plants and Plant Pests examines this growing problem and offers recommendations for enhancing the science base in this field, improving our detection of potential invaders, and refining our ability to predict their impact. The book analyzes the factors that shape an invader's progress through four stages: arriving through one of many possible ports of entry, reaching a threshold of survival, thriving through proliferation and geographic spread, and ultimate impact on the organism's new environment. The book also reviews approaches to predicting whether a species will become an invader as well as the more complex challenge of predicting and measuring its impact on the environment, a process involving value judgments and risk assessment. This detailed analysis will be of interest to policymakers, plant scientists, agricultural producers, environmentalists, and public agencies concerned with invasive plant and plant pest species.

"This thesis focuses on the development of methods for forecasting and managing the spread of non-native species. By combining statistical modelling and computational simulations with both biological and sociological data, this research aims to provide decision support tools to resource managers and policy makers. With an emphasis on the quantification and propagation of uncertainty through the construction of both classical and Bayesian models, I analyse the implications of various human and biological factors on forecasting the spread of fresh water invasive species. These include: 1) dispersal network structure, 2) population dynamics, 3) environmental suitability, and 4) human behavioural feedbacks to policy interventions.The first section compares two current approaches to predicting the secondary spread of aquatic invasive species and introduces a novel methodology for the quantitative validation of such predictions. Chapter 2 compares alternative models of human-mediated dispersal and assesses the consequences of the resulting dispersal network structures for predictions of invasion risk at both the local and landscape level. A new approach to validating the predictions made by models of spreading species is developed in Chapter 3. The new approach accommodates both stochastic and epistemic prediction uncertainty and I demonstrate that it has both the appropriate expected error rates as well as increased power compared to existing methods. Application to a published forecast model of Bythotrephes longimanus in central Ontario confirms the predicted invasion pattern.The second section deals with the development and application of new forecasting and management models which are applicable in common situations of limited data availability and limited management resources. Chapter 4 solves problems posed by presence-only data by extending current approaches to species distribution modelling using an observation model of the detection process. Application of this approach to 10 aquatic invasive species in Ontario revealed that the number of sites at which species are detected is not alone predictive of their current and potential range. By quantifying between-species differences in prevalence and detectability, this approach can provide guidance for sampling efforts and management interventions. Finally, Chapter 5 addresses the predicted efficacy of specific management interventions by modelling the human behavioural responses to such interventions. By integrating behavioural responses into a gravity model formulation, the predicted consequences of various policy scenarios on the future spread of aquatic invasives in Ontario is compared. Together, this research provides novel insights into both ecological processes and environmental policy." --

This new volume on Biological Invasions deals with both plants and animals, differing from previous books by extending from the level of individual species to an ecosystem and global level. Topics of highest societal relevance, such as the impact of genetically modified organisms, are interlinked with more conventional ecological aspects, including biodiversity. The combination of these approaches is new and makes compelling reading for researchers and environmentalists.

The primary goal of this report is to help scientists and managers to better focus aquatic NIS monitoring activities and resources by identifying new invasive species, their potential to spread, and the U.S. Great Lakes ports most susceptible to invasion. Another goal is to demonstrate the use of a habitat suitability model and ballast water discharge data to predict invasion potential.
