Networks of Invasion: Empirical Evidence and Case StudiesNetworks of Invasion: Networks of Invasion: Empirical Evidence and Case Studies, Volume 57 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, including sections on parasites and biological invasions, invasions in freshwater systems, and those in host-associated microbiome networks. In addition, the book provides interesting discussions on the importance of microorganisms and their relationship to macroorganisms. Contains chapters detailing pressing concerns regarding invasive species in food webs Describes the tools, models and empirical methods adapted for tackling invasions in ecological networks Deals with topical and important reviews on the physiology, populations and communities of plants and animals ISBN: 9780128133286, 0128133287
