The Ecology of Invasions by Animals and Plants is a second edition from 2020, authored by Charles S. Elton, with ISBN-10: 3030347206 and ISBN-13: 978-3030347208. Published by Springer, this book measures 6.14 x 0.69 x 9.21 inches and comprises 282 pages. Elton aimed to articulate his vision of invasion science more explicitly in this work. Originally published in 1958 with a focus on an educated lay audience, the book was almost entirely descriptive, rich in striking examples of invasive species’ nature and scope, starting with seven detailed cases presented in Chapter 1. The new edition is likely to target biologists and be somewhat more technical and prescriptive, reflecting Elton’s lifelong interest in how interactions among species can affect plant and animal communities and their balance.
