The Ecology of Invasions by Animals and Plants by Charles S Elton

The Ecology of Invasions by Animals and Plants by Charles S Elton

In autobiographical notes he penned near the end of his life, Elton wrote regarding EIAP, This whole subject has deep significance for the study of plant and animal communities and their balance (or unbalance),19 and indeed many of the reprints and notes refer to interactions among species and community-wide effects.

“Simberloff and Ricciardi have captured Elton’s thinking on biological invasions over the subsequent 25 yearsThis proves not only to be an informative read but also a wonderful insight into the mind of one of the 20^th century’s leading ecologists. … We are lucky to have this new edition that loses none of the magic of the original but hopefully will encourage a new generation of ecologist to read this classic work.” (Philip Hulme, The Niche, 2020)

Charles S. Elton (1900 – 1991) is widely considered the founder of animal ecology. He established and led Oxford University’s Bureau of Animal Population, responsible for training zoologists from around the world. His scientific legacy, of which Ecology of Invasions is a major part, has influenced generations of biologists.

Daniel Simberloff is the Nancy Gore Hunger Professor of Environmental Studies at the University of Tennessee, member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, and Editor-in-Chief of the journal Biological Invasions.

Anthony Ricciardi is Professor of Biology in the Redpath Museum and McGill School of Environment, and a Trottier Fellow in Science and Public Policy, at McGill University.  He has served on the editorial boards of the journals Biological Invasions, Diversity and Distributions, and NeoBiota.
