Marine Bioinvasions: Patterns, Processes and Perspectives

Marine Bioinvasions: Patterns, Processes and Perspectives edited by Judith Pederson.

As the global rate of marine introductions increases, exotic species exert greater economic and ecological impacts, affecting ecosystems and human health. The complexity of marine ecosystems challenges our ability to find easy solutions to prevention, management, and control of introductions. This b...
