Description and Table of Contents
Description
This work deals with the ecological effect a species can have when it moves into an environment that it has not previously occupied (commonly referred to as an "invasion"). It presents an accessible introduction to a highly complex area - the modelling of biological invasions. The book presents up-to-date theories and models developed from studies into this crucial area. It includes data and examples from biological case studies showing how the models can be applied to the study of invasions, whether dealing with AIDS, the European rabbit, or prickly pear cactuses.
