Beschreibung:
Examining globally invasive alien birds, the first part of this book provides an account of 32 global avian invasive species (as listed by the Invasive Species Specialist Group, ISSG). It acts as a one stop reference volume; it assesses current invasive status for each bird species, including details of physical description, diet, introduction and invasion pathways, breeding behavior, and natural habitat. It also looks at the environmental impact of each species, as well as current and future control methods. Full color photographs assist with species identification and global distribution maps give a visual representation of the current known distributions of these species.
