“Her new book is considerably more than an update, but the update alone would make it a valuable contribution. … The summary of much molecular genetic research assembled in one book would alone make Invasive Predators a fascinating read, with studies elucidating many aspects of virtually every invasion. … Invasive Predators in New Zealand is an interesting book for any invasion biologist, even those with substantial knowledge of the topic.” (Daniel Simberloff, Biological Invasions, Vol. 23, 2021)
