Description
Behaviour plays a crucial role in biological invasions. This comprehensive overview explores how animal behaviour affects the success and ecological impact of invasive species. By examining both the invaders' and native species' perspectives, the book sheds light on the critical role of behaviour in shaping the outcomes of these events. The chapters cover theoretical aspects, well-documented case studies, and practical insights into preventing and mitigating the impacts of invasive species. This research offers a unique understanding of how organisms adapt to environmental changes such as climate change and habitat loss. Suitable for biological invasion researchers, behavioural ecologists, and ecologists seeking to understand how organisms respond to human-induced environmental alterations, this book provides valuable information on current understanding in the field.
