Biological Invasions in Changing Ecosystems : Vectors, Ecological Impacts, Management and Predictions /

Mostrar otras versiones (1)

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...
