Biological invasions in changing ecosystems : : vectors, ecological impacts, management and predictions / / João Canning-Clode (ed.) ; managing editor, Katarzyna Michalczyk ; associate editor, Anssi Vainikka ; language editor, Blake Turner.

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...
