This overview of the roles of alien species in insect conservation brings together information, evidence and examples from many parts of the world to illustrate their impacts (often severe, but in many cases poorly understood and unpredictable) as one of the primary drivers of species declines, ecological changes and biotic homogenisation.

“This is a wide-ranging yet highly inclusive treatment of a very important field. It is a fascinating read (with many significant examples) and an instant classic.” (Michael J. Samways, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 93 (2), June, 2018)“Finally, and very importantly, it is refreshing to find a book that addresses the vexed problem that conservation faces from being dominated by the unwarranted focus on the charismatic mega-fauna over the last 50 years or so since conservation biology became established. This is a very important and useful book and one that I would definitely recommend to my library.” (Simon Leather, Journal of Insect Conservation, Vol. 20, 2016)
