Compare The Evolutionary Ecology Of Invasive Species by Johannes Le Roux, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

The Evolutionary Ecology of Invasive Speciesoffers new insights into the mechanisms that underlie rapid evolution in these species. The book provides a comprehensive overview of achievements in the field during the boom of information over the past two decades and includes discussions of possible future directions for the study of evolution in invasive species. Written by an international expert in invasion ecology, population genetics, and evolutionary biology, the book explores the roles of preadaptation, phenotypic plasticity, selection, and stochastic processes in driving rapid evolution. The book draws insights from a wide spectrum of invasive microbes, plants, and animals, covering many of the planet's biogeographic regions and discusses the evolutionary consequences for native species in response to biological invasions. A valuable resource to researchers and students in evolutionary biology, invasive species biology, and global change biology, this text suggests future research directions related to the evolutionary biology, impacts, and management of invasive species. Highlights the most recent advances and developments in using evolutionary principles to study and manage invasive speciesOffers new and often overlooked insights in processes that govern rapid evolutionDiscusses key stages of population demography that underlie rapid evolutionary change in invasive species, including their introduction, naturalisation, and dispersal | The Evolutionary Ecology Of Invasive Species by Johannes Le Roux, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
