Networks of Invasion: A Synthesis of Concepts

Networks of Invasion bridges a conceptual gap between ecological network studies and invasion biology studies. This book contains chapters detailing pressing concerns regarding invasive species in food webs, but also extends the idea of networks of invasion to other systems, such as mutualistic networks or even the human microbiome.

Chapters describe the tools, models, and empirical methods adapted for tackling invasions in ecological networks.
