Conclusion: Conclusion and Management Implications.
Explores the problem of invasive species from a multi-scalar perspective, from the molecular to the landscape, and how each of these scales present conservation and management implications
Presents a series of studies in the Galapagos Islands, a unique place to study evolution, and now a unique place to understand how introduced species change the environment, creating challenges for endemic species conservation and for management strategies
Follows a multi-disciplinary approach, including studies from biology, genetics, ecology, geography and sociology, showing that talking about invasives necessitates the consideration of a broad spectrum of different aspects
