This course applies a multi-disciplinary lens to the subject of biological invasions and is intended to build upon foundational understandings of global environmental change. The course explores the foundational ecological theories of biological invasions, ecological conditions and mechanisms driving invasions, multi-scale perspectives on the environmental impact of biological invasions (community, ecosystem), past and current approaches to the management of invaded environments, social and economic impacts of species invasions, and invasion risk assessment and biological invasion policy.
