Conservation Biogeography
Richard J. Ladle, Robert J. Whittaker
The newly emerged sub-discipline of conservation biogeography uses the conceptual tools and methods of biogeography to address real world conservation problems and to provide predictions about the fate of key species and ecosystems over the next century. This book provides the first comprehensive review of the field in a series of closely interlinked chapters addressing the central issues within this exciting and important subject.

| Special Issue of Diversity and Distributions Human-mediated introductions of Australian acacias –a global experiment in biogeography Papers in this free to access special issue bring together the work of more than 100 scholars to initiate a truly comparative multi-disciplinary conversation with the aim of providing the foundation needed to guide the objective management of Australian acacias in all the many environments where they now occur. The papers cover a broad and interlinked, range of issues, including evolutionary, ecological, social, impact, and management aspects of Acacia introductions globally. |

Fifty Years of Invasion Ecology: The Legacy of Charles Elton
David M. Richardson (Editor)
This book brings together the insights of more than 50 authors to examine the origins, foundations, current dimensions and potential trajectories of invasion ecology. It revisits key tenets of the foundations of invasion ecology, including contributions of pioneering naturalists of the 19th century, including Charles Darwin and British ecologist Charles Elton, whose 1958 monograph on invasive species is widely acknowledged as having focussed scientific attention on biological invasions.
