Book Description
Excerpt from The Wanderings of Plants and Animals From Their First Home That the animal and vegetable worlds - that is to say, the whole physiognomy of life, labour, and landscape in a country - may, in the course of centuries, be changed under the hand of Man is an experimental fact that, especially since the discovery of America, cannot be contradicted. During the, last three centuries - in a purely historical period, since the invention of printing, and in full view of the civilized world - the native animals and plants in newly discovered islands and in the colonized countries of the Western Hemisphere have been sup planted by those of europe, or by a flora and fauna collected from all parts of the globe. In St. Helena, for instance, the aboriginal wild vegetation has retreated to the mountains in the interior of the island, driven in by an advancing circle of novel plants which came over the ocean in the train of Europeans. In the pampas of Buenos Ayres, for miles together, we meet with scarcely one indigenous plant; they have all succumbed to the usurpation of plants introduced from Europe.

Fifty Years of Invasion Ecology
Author: David M. RichardsonPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1444330004
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 459
Book Description
Invasion ecology is the study of the causes and consequences of the introduction of organisms to areas outside their native range. Interest in this field has exploded in the past few decades. Explaining why and how organisms are moved around the world, how and why some become established and invade, and how best to manage invasive species in the face of global change are all crucial issues that interest biogeographers, ecologists and environmental managers in all parts of the world. This book brings together the insights of more than 50 authors to examine the origins, foundations, current dimensions and potential trajectories of invasion ecology. It revisits key tenets of the foundations of invasion ecology, including contributions of pioneering naturalists of the 19th century, including Charles Darwin and British ecologist Charles Elton, whose 1958 monograph on invasive species is widely acknowledged as having focussed scientific attention on biological invasions.
