Kluwer Academic Publishers has begun publication of a new quarterly journal,
Biological Invasions,
with the first volume for 1999 just released. According to editor-in-chief James T. Carlton, "Our
hope is to
seek the threads that bind for an evolutionary and ecological understanding of invasions across
terrestrial,
fresh water, and salt water environments. Specifically, we offer a portal for research on the
patterns and
processes of invasions across the broadest menu: the ecological consequences of invasions as
they are deduced
by experimentation, the factors that influence transport, inoculation, establishment, and
persistence of non-native
species, the mechanisms that control the abundance and distribution of invasives, and the genetic
consequences of
invasions."
Other topics welcomed include invasion biodiversity and biogeography, the theoretical
basis of the
release and use of biocontrol species and genetically modified organisms, and management and
policy issues.
Subscription prices: Institutions NLG 505.00/USD 252.50; Individuals NLG 200.00/USD
100.00 (postage
included).
