Biological Invasions and Global Insect Decline

Biological Invasions and Global Insect Decline offers the most comprehensive and updated knowledge on how invasive alien species affect insect diversity worldwide. It provides overview of knowledge, including results of the ongoing research and most relevant information, covering the main aspects of the impact of biological invasions on insect assemblages, as well as future insights on what could be done to mitigate the consequences of invasive species. Written and edited by international experts on invasion ecology and insect conservation, this book explores the role of global change and the introduction of invasive species in altering the structure of habitats and how this induces a global insect decline. It discusses how the introduction of all kinds of organisms, from bacteria and plants to vertebrates, affects the current decline in insect diversity. The latter portion of the book delves into existent and future monitoring and management programs, including citizen science and regenerative ecology, as socio-ecological solutions to combat these threats. Biological Invasions and Global Insect Decline is a valuable resource for entomologists, invasion biologists, and other researchers in biodiversity conservation, as well as practitioners and stakeholders concerned about the problematic of invasive alien species and insect population decline. Offers a concise vision of one of the main causes of insect extinctions in the Anthropocene Discusses community ecology, insect conservation, species interactions, restoration ecology Led by a team of editors whose expertise includes invasive alien species, invasion ecology, insect species diversity and species conservation INDICE: Part I: Biodiversity and Consequences of Insect Decline 1.
