UC Davis weed experts contribute to pioneering Encyclopedia of Biological Invasions
Cooperative Extension Weed Specialist Joe DiTomaso, Emeritus Professor Robert Norris, and Plant Physiologist Lars Anderson with USDA-ARS Exotic and Invasive Weeds Research are among the international experts who contributed to a soon-to-be released encyclopedia on topic at the forefront of global ecology—biological invasions, or organisms that come to live in the wrong place. This pioneering book, Encyclopedia of Biological Invasions, addresses all aspects of this subject at a global level—including invasions by animals, plants, fungi, and bacteria—in succinct, alphabetically arranged articles. Scientifically uncompromising, yet clearly written and free of jargon, the volume encompasses fields of study including biology, demography, geography, ecology, evolution, sociology, and natural history. Featuring many cross-references, suggestions for further reading, illustrations, an appendix of the world’s worst 100 invasive species, a glossary, and more, this is an essential reference for anyone who needs up-to-date information on this important topic.
