Biological Invasions

Aims & Scope

Biological Invasions publishes research and synthesis papers on patterns and processes of biological invasions in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine (including brackish) ecosystems.

Also of interest are scholarly papers on management and policy issues as they relate to conservation programs and the global amelioration or control of invasions.

The journal will consider proposals for special issues resulting from conferences or workshops on invasions.
