Invasive species are of great environmental importance but no book before now has explored a key aspect: the nature of species interactions. This book looks at the theories, evidence and practicalities for managing invasions.
Despite many books on plant invasions, none has focused on the role of species interactions. This book is a comprehensive overview of how plant invasions are mediated by varied species interactions and how such invasions influence this important component of biodiversity which involves the interactions (the "glue") among a community's species. Besides highlighting relevant findings, the book digs deeply into new methodologies to understand species interactions in plant invasions and how this can improve management of invaded communities. The book covers:
- Main theories/hypotheses in plant invasion ecology that invoke species interactions
- Plant invasions promoted by mutualistic interactions and release from enemies
- Antagonistic interactions preventing or hindering plant invasions
- Consequences of plant invasions on native species interactions and ecosystem functioning
- The interaction network approach to understanding plant invasions
- Importance of considering species interactions in managing plant invasions
Future avenues of research are highlighted in a final chapter.
