Invasive Birds: New Advances and Perspectives

Dear Colleagues, 

Invasive species are met with a dichotomy of opinions. There are those that feel we should embrace these species as part of our diversity in the Anthropocene as a product of irreversible change. On the other hand, some believe that continued efforts should be made to prevent, control and eradicate these unwelcome settlers. Despite these differences in opinion, both camps require sound evidence to support their arguments, and for many species, there remains a paucity of information.

Thus, the aim of the Special Issue, entitled ‘Invasive Birds: New Advances and Perspectives’, is to bring together the most recent advancements in invasive bird research.
