Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Until now, biological invasions have been conceptualised and studied mainly as a linear process: from introduction to establishment to spread. This volume charts a new course for the field, drawing on key developments in network ecology and complexity science. It defines an agenda for Invasion Science 2.0 by providing new framings and classification of research topics and by offering tentative solutions to vexing problems. In particular, it conceptualises a transformative ecosystem as an open adaptive network with critical transitions and turnover, with resident species heuristically learning and fine-tuning their niches and roles in a multiplayer eco-evolutionary game. It erects signposts pertaining to network interactions, structures, stability, dynamics, scaling, and invasibility. It is not a recipe book or a road map, but an atlas of possibilities: a 'hitchhiker's guide'. Invasive species pose an increasing threat to global biodiversity. This book provides a succinct review of the scientific study of invasions to date, proposes a new approach for gaining insights on invasions, and suggests new ways to manage invasions by adopting an open adaptive network framework for ecosystem transformation. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781108745963
