Invasive Species

Invasive species have the ability to transform entire landscapes. They marginalize native species, alter ecosystem processes and nutrient cycling, and provide markedly different habitat for other species. Understanding what characteristics make species good invaders, how invasive species exert their effects on native communities, and what conditions make communities susceptible to invasion are all vital questions.
