Introduction to Plant Invasion Biology by Sergey Robertovich Mayorov and Yulia Konstantinovna Vinogradova is a comprehensive reference on the science of biological invasions. The book covers foundational documents in the field, defines the subject of invasion biology, and reviews key issues in plant invasions. It tests major hypotheses explaining why invasive species succeed in secondary ranges, outlines research objectives, and details methods for scientific investigation.
The authors analyze the role of various vectors in spreading invasive plants, with particular attention to how botanical gardens contribute to transforming the gene pool of initial populations. Economic damage assessments are provided, along with recommendations for potential uses of invasive species. The book offers control methods aimed at reducing the abundance of alien species, shrinking their secondary range, and slowing further spread.
A highlight is the overview of Russia’s “TOP-100” most aggressive invasive plants—species requiring priority study and monitoring to prevent biological invasions. Designed to serve as a qualified reference system, this work is accessible to students, nature conservation managers, researchers, and anyone interested in effective phytosanitary control. Price: 1002.00 RUR.
