Earthworms in North America -- Zebra mussels in Western Europe and North America -- Canadian water weed in Europe -- Himalayan balsam in Europe -- House sparrows in North America -- Rabbits in Australia -- Crayfish plague in Europe -- Colorado (potato) beetle -- Water hyacinths in Africa and Asia -- Starlings in North America -- Argentine ant on Mediterranean shores -- Dutch elm disease in Europe and North America -- American mink in Europe Marine (cane) toad on Pacific islands -- Raccoons in Europe -- Canadian beaver on Tierra del Fuego -- African "killer bees" in the Americas -- Warty comb jelly in the Black Sea -- Some concluding remarks emanating from the case studies -- Index.

This book examines the long-term fate of invasive species by detailing examples of invaders from different zoological and botanical taxa from various places around the world. Readers will discover what happened, after a century or so, to 'classical' invaders like rabbits in Australia, house sparrows in North America, minks in Europe and water hyacinths in Africa and Asia. Chapters presented in the book focus on eighteen species in the form of in-depth case studies including: earthworms, zebra mussels, Canadian water weed, Himalayan balsam, house sparrows, rabbits, crayfish plague, Colorado beetles, water hyacinths, starlings, Argentine ant, Dutch elm disease, American mink, cane toad, raccoons, Canadian beavers, African killer bees and warty comb jelly. Invaded areas described are in Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, Pacific islands, and South America. Readers will get some ideas about the likely future of current invaders from the fate of old ones. This book is intended for undergraduates studying environmental sciences, researchers and members of environmental NGO's.
