OverviewThere are many hypotheses describing the interactions involved in biological invasions, but it is largely unknown whether they are backed up by empirical evidence. This book fills that gap by developing a tool for assessing research hypotheses and applying it to twelve invasion hypotheses, using the hierarchy-of-hypotheses (HoH) approach, and mapping the connections between theory and evidence. In Part 1, an overview chapter of invasion biology is followed by an introduction to the HoH approach and short chapters by science theorists and philosophers who comment on the approach. Part 2 outlines the invasion hypotheses and their interrelationships. These include biotic resistance and island susceptibility hypotheses, disturbance hypothesis, invasional meltdown hypothesis, enemy release hypothesis, evolution of increased competitive ability and shifting defence hypotheses, tens rule, phenotypic plasticity hypothesis, Darwin's naturalization and limiting similarity hypotheses and the propagule pressure hypothesis. Part 3 provides a synthesis and suggests future directions for invasion research Full Product DetailsAuthor: Jonathan Jeschke (Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB), Freie Universität Berlin and Berlin-Brandenburg Institute of Advanced Biodiversity Research, Germany) , Tina Heger (University of Potsdam, Technical University of Munich and Berlin-Brandenburg Institute of Advanced Biodiversity Research (BBIB), Germany) , Sabrina Amador-Vargas (Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute,) , Tim M.
