Description 1 online resource (144 pages) : illustrations (some color), maps
Contents Seaweed invasions: introduction and scope -- Introductions of seaweeds: accidental transfer pathways and mechanisms -- Intentional introductions of commercially harvested alien seaweeds -- Mechanisms of invasion: establishment, spread and persistence of introduced seaweed populations -- Mechanisms of invasions: can the recipient community influence invasion rates? -- Methods for identifying and tracking seaweed invasions -- Molecular approaches to the study of invasive seaweeds -- Impacts of introduced seaweeds -- Control of invasive seaweeds -- Invasive seaweeds: global and regional law and policy responses -- Seaweed invasions: conclusions and future directions
Summary In recognising an urgent need to move beyond case studies and develop a conceptual synthesis, the scope of this volume is broad, covering the principal elements of both the invasion process and human responses to seaweed invasions. This includes addressing legal frameworks for regulatory control, practical means to track and respond to invasive seaweeds in the field, as well as the ecology of invasions. The result is both a valuable multidisciplinary synthesis of work to date, and a pointer to future challenges and priorities
