内容説明
Conservation biologists are raising the alarm about a global threat to biodiversity that is unfolding largely unnoticed - bioinvasion, the spread of alien, "exotic" organisms. There has been little public recognition of the dangers posed by these invading species, but exotic species are injuring our biological wealth on virtually every level - from the genetic (when exotics interbreed with native species) to the wholesale transformation of landscapes. This text shows that this "biological pollution" is now beginning to corrode the world's economies and outlines the social and economic implications if these invasions are allowed to continue unchecked.
