From the reviews:“Chapters cover the animal and plant groups in detail: alien fungi, bryophytes and lichens, vascular plants, terrestrial invertebrates, invertebrates and fish in inland waters, marine biota, birds, amphibians and reptiles, and, finally, mammals. … All in all, the ‘Handbook of Alien Species in Europe’ is a valuable source of information for the general ecologist, particularly as a companion book for the diverse literature on biological invasions, and for the practitioner being interested in the management of invasive species in Europe.” (Matthias Schaefer, Basic and Applied Ecology, Vol. 12 (6), 2011)
