Biological Invasions in Marine Ecosystems. Ecological, Management and Geographic Perspectives

摘要

Rilov and Crooks have edited a valuable contribution to the Ecological Studies series. They have recruited the leading scientists in the field of marine non-native species studies to provide a volume that covers the major topics related to the ecology and the consequences of biological invasions in marine ecosystems. The book is thus important for scientists wishing to have an up-to-date summary of what is known about the ecology of marine invasive species and for managers who are charged with environmental protection and need to answer the question 'will it matter' and, if they decide that it will, to work out whether they can do anything about it.
