This book uses exotic birds as a case study to understand the science of the invasion process, from the reasons why humans choose to move some species and not others, to how successful invaders interact with the new environment, and even evolve there.

Every morning, ecologist Tim Blackburn is inspired by the diversity contained within the moth trap he runs on the roof of his London flat. Beautiful, ineffably mysterious organisms, these moths offer a glimpse into a larger order, one that extends beyond individual species of moth, beyond lepidoptera or insects, and into a hidden landscape.Just as Michael Faraday's iron filings arrange themselves to articulate a magnetic field that would other...

Major researchers in the field present overviews of current thinking about the form and determinants of macroecological patterns. Each section presents different viewpoints on the answer to a key question in macroecology: Why are most species rare and small-bodied, and restricted in their distribution?
