This book will be of interest to academics and students of ecology, researchers engaged in developing management solutions, scientific managers of natural ecosystems, and policy-makers.
Part I: Background Chapter 1: Plant invasions: the role of biotic interactions – An overview Chapter 2: The role of biotic interactions in invasion ecology: theories and hypotheses Part II: Positive and negative interactions in the soil Chapter 3: Soil biota and non-native plant invasions Part III: Mutualistic interactions that promote plant invasions Chapter 4: Pollination interactions promoting plant invasions- Chapter 5: Seed dispersal interactions promoting plant invasions Chapter 6: Ungulates as dispersal vectors of non-native plants Chapter 7: The role of plant-plant facilitation in non-native plant invasions Chapter 8: How direct and indirect non-native interactions can promote plant invasions, lead to invasional meltdown, and inform management decisions Part IV: Antagonistic interactions that hinder plant invasions Chapter 9: Biotic resistance to plant invasions Chapter 10: EICA 2.0: A general model of enemy release and defence in plant and animal invasions Chapter 11: The role of pathogens in plant invasions Chapter 12: Direct and indirect effects of herbivores influencing plant invasions Part V: Consequences of plant invasions for biotic interactions among native species Chapter 13: Impacts of non-native plants on plant-pollinator interactions Chapter 14: The effect of non-native plant invasions on seed dispersal of native plants Chapter 15: Allelopathic disruptions of biotic interactions due to non-native plants Chapter 16: Competition between native and non-native plants Chapter 17: Indirect biotic interactions between non-native plants and native plants and animals Part VI: Novel techniques and experimental approaches in the study of plant invasions Chapter 18: How a network approach has advanced the field of plant invasion ecology Chapter 19: Molecular ecology of plant-microbial interactions during invasions: progress and challenges Part VII: Biotic interactions and the management of ecosystems invaded by non-native plants Chapter 20: How can progress in the understanding of antagonistic interactions be applied to improve biological control of plant invasions? Chapter 21: Restoration of pollination interactions in communities invaded by non-native plants Chapter 22: Restoration of seed dispersal interactions in communities invaded by non-native plants Chapter 23: Multiple feedbacks due to biotic interactions across trophic levels can lead to persistent novel conditions that hinder restoration
Anna Traveset (Edited By)
- Anna Traveset is a Research Professor of the Spanish Research
Council based at the Mediterranean Institute of Advanced studies in
Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain. Her research focuses on species
interactions, mostly on island ecosystems, and how these are
influenced by different drivers of global change. She has published
more than 200 papers in scientific journals and as book chapters,
and has edited several special issues, one in Journal of
Biogeography (2012) and the other in AoB PLANTS (2015). She belongs
to the editorial board of five scientific journals. In 2017, she
was awarded the Prize King Jaume I in the category of
'Environmental Protection'.
David M. Richardson (Edited By)
David M. Richardson was Director of the DSI-NRF Centre of
Excellence for Invasion Biology in South Africa between 2011 and
2022. He is currently a Distinguished Professor in the Department
of Botany and Zoology at Stellenbosch University, South Africa. His
research focuses on biological invasions, mainly plant invasions.
David is author or co-author of over 500 journal papers and book
chapters and several books, including Invasion Dynamics (Oxford
University Press, 2017) and Invading Ecological Networks (Cambridge
University Press, 2022). He has edited or co-edited nine books,
including Ecology and Biogeography of Pinus (Cambridge University
Press, 1998), Fifty Years of Invasion Ecology (Wiley-Blackwell,
2011), Biological Invasions in South Africa (Springer, 2022) and
Plant Invasions: The Role of Biotic Interactions (CABI, 2022). He
was Editor-in-Chief of the journal Diversity and Distributions
between 1998 and 2015. David was awarded the Hans Sigrist Prize for
2006 by the University of Bern, Switzerland, in 2012 received the
John F.W. Herschel Medal, the senior medal of the Royal Society of
South Africa, and in 2019 was recipient of the African Union's
Kwame Nkrumah Award for Scientific Excellence (Continental). Most
of his work on this book was done while he was on sabbatical leave
with support from the Institute of Botany of the Czech Academy of
Sciences in Prague, Czech Republic.
