Note publique d'information : The conservation threat represented by invasive species is well-known, but the scientific
opportunities are underappreciated. Invasion studies have historically been largely
directed at the important job of collecting case studies. Invasion biology has matured
to the point of being able to incorporating itself into the heart of ecology, and
should be viewed as extensions or critical experiments of ecological theory. In this
edited volume, global experts in ecology and evolutionary biology explore how theories
in ecology elucidate the invasion processes while also examining how specific invasions
informs ecological theory. This reciprocal benefit is highlighted in a number of scales
of organization: population, community and biogeographic, while employing example
invaders in all major groups of organisms and from a number of regions around the
globe. The chapters in this volume utilize many of the cutting edge observational,
experimental, analytical and computational methods used in modern ecology. Through
merging conceptual ecology and invasion biology we can obtain a better understanding
of the invasion process while also developing a better understanding of how ecological
systems function
