Invasive species and global climate change.

Book cover for Invasive species and global climate change.

Description

This book contains 18 chapters addressing topics related to the impact of invasive species, including biosecurity, demographics, species diversity, and food security. It is meant for researchers, upper-level students, and policymakers and provides a factual basis for the underlying science and a discussion of that information with respect to current and future impacts and possible solutions. This book explores the nexus of climate change and biological invasions, and the resulting impacts (biological and economic), and assesses ways to reduce vulnerability and increase the resiliency and sustainability of managed and unmanaged ecosystems. The book has three parts, focusing on: (1) the dimensions of the problem; background and science; (2) case studies; and (3) management: detection, prevention, control, and adaptation. This revised edition examines a wide range of topics and regions, the underlying science, examples (case studies) from around the world, and ways and means to recognize, manage, and control the consequences. It includes new cases and threats, such as a chapter summarizing case studies on climate change and invasive species that also carry disease (e.g., ticks and Lyme disease).
