| Summary |
Colonization of New Zealand altered the resident biota and resulted in the introduction of alien organisms. This volume presents a review of the level and rate of alien invasions. It investigates what controls the success of invaders and their consequences for ecosystems, and provides a basis for the effective management of biological invasions |
