Non-Native Species

Non-Native Species: Understanding the Impacts on Ecosystems and Societies, 1st Edition, provides a comprehensive reference detailing introduction mechanisms, environmental consequences, and control strategies for biological invasions. Authored by Andrei Alyokhin and published by Academic Press in March 2026, this 494-page work introduces foundational analytical tools for undergraduate and graduate students studying environmental disruption.

The volume examines non-native populations across ecological, economic, political, and ethical dimensions, balancing scientific principles with applied environmental policy. It analyzes population movement through space and time, contrasting natural range expansions with human-mediated species introductions while evaluating evolutionary considerations, predictive methods, quarantine regulations, and tactical management frameworks.

By integrating specific case studies from ongoing research in entomology, plant science, and integrated pest management, the reference offers direct support for early career researchers entering invasion ecology. The compiled material provides natural resource managers and policy decision-makers with structured guidance for assessing non-native organisms across diverse managed and natural ecosystems.
