Infos

Divided into three sections, this book provides detailed information on the 32 global avian invasive species listed by the Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG). It also offers an assessment of avian invasions from a biogeographic perspective, and considers the ecological impacts of these invasive species.

---

Examining globally invasive alien birds, the first part of this book provides an account of 32 global avian invasive species (as listed by the Invasive Species Specialist Group, ISSG). It acts as a one stop reference volume; it assesses current invasive status for each bird species, including details of physical description, diet, introduction and invasion pathways, breeding behaviour, natural habitat. It also looks at the environmental impact of each species, as well as current and future control methods. Full colour photographs assist with species identification and global distribution maps give a visual representation of the current known distributions of these species.

The second part of the book discusses the biogeographical aspects of avian invasions, highlighting current and emerging invasive species across different regions of the world. The third section considers the impact of invasive species on native communities, problems associated with invasive bird management and the use of citizen science in the study of invasive birds.

Rezensionen

Acts as a one stop reference volume...An ideal and unreservedly recommended addition to professional, governmental, college, and university library Ecology and Zoology collections in general, and Ornithology supplemental curriculum studies lists in particular, it should be noted for the personal reading lists of students, ornithologists, and non-specialist general readers.

This is an important work, covering a difficult and diverse subject. The huge number of studies cited make it an invaluable reference.

This useful work provides a wide range of ideas for future studies of the invasion biology of birds; thus, it
would be a useful addition to the libraries of ecologists, ornithologists, and conservationists.
