Avian Invasions The Ecology and Evolution of Exotic Birds Exotic birds provide a particularly good opportunity to study the causes and consequences of biological invasions By combining good historical records of bird introductions with the detailed information available on many other aspects of avian biology this book advances understanding of the invasion process while also exploring avian conservation biology and basic principles of ecology and evolution Avian Invasions The Ecology and Evolution of Exotic Birds Avian Invasions is aimed at professional avian biologists and ornithologists as well as graduate students of avian ecology evolution and conservation It also appeals to a more general audience of invasion ecologists Avian Invasions—The Ecology and Evolution of Exotic Birds There are diverse issues in population biology and community ecology that these introduced birds can be used to address This book on avian invasions by Tim Blackburn Julie Lockwood and Phillip Cassey addresses these issues in splendid fashion It lives up to its subtitle in dealing with the ecology and evolution of exotic birds Avian Invasions The Ecology and Evolution of Exotic Birds Avian Invasions The Ecology and Evolution of Exotic Birds Tim M Blackburn Institute of Zoology ZSL Regent’s Park London Julie L Lockwood Ecology Evolution and Natural Resources Rutgers University New Brunswick NJ Avian Invasions Oxford University Press Avian Invasions The Ecology and Evolution of Exotic Birds Tim M Blackburn Julie L Lockwood and Phillip Cassey Oxford Avian Biology Series Summarizes and synthesizes the literature on introduced bird ecology and evolution Includes chapters on the wellknown contributions of introduced bird study to ecological science Julie L Lockwood Rutgers Ecology Evolution Natural Bold denotes my graduate students Italics denotes an undergraduate in my lab Bold Italics denotes my postdoc all only marked for work conducted while formally a part of my lab group 117R Valentin R D Fonseca A Nielson and Review Using eDNA for early detection of terrestrial exotic species to minimize Avian Invasions The Ecology and Evolution of Exotic Birds There is also a growing recognition that the study of biological invaders provides significant insight into basic questions in ecology and evolution Exotic birds provide a particularly good Avian Invasions The Ecology and Evolution of Exotic Birds Avian Invasions is aimed at professional avian biologists and ornithologists as well as graduate students of avian ecology evolution and conservation It will also appeal to a more general audience of invasion ecologists Contents Preface 1 Introduction to the Study of Exotic Birds 2 Transport and Introduction 3 Oxford University Press Oxford Avian Biology series Avian Invasions The Ecology and Evolution of Exotic Birds Tim M Blackburn Julie L Lockwood and Phillip Cassey Oxford Avian Biology Oxford University Press 2009 Biological invaders represent one of the primary threats to the maintenance of global biodiversity human health and the success of human economic enterprises Avian Invasions The Ecology Evolution of Exotic Birds Avian Invasions summarizes and synthesizes this unique historical record and unravels the insights that the study of exotic birds brings to all three of these research strands It includes chapters on the wellknown contributions of exotic bird study to ecological science and on the postestablishment evolution of introduced bird populations
