Vitousek PM, D'Antonio CM, Loope LL, Rejmanek M, Westbrooks R. 1997. Introduced species: a significant component of human-caused global change. New Zealand Journal of Ecology. 21(1):1-16
In this paper, we place biological invasions in context with other human-caused global environmental changes; briefly describe the global extent of biological invasion; illustrate the consequences of particular invasions as they affect human health and wealth, and/or the functioning and biological diversity of natural ecosystems; discuss interactions between biological invasions and other components of global change; and describe ways that society can prevent, manage, and/or cope with invasions.
