ISSG PublicationsThe Invasive Species Specialist Group publishes its newsletter Aliens bi-annually. It provides interesting and timely information on invasive species and associated issues. Contributions, should focus on conservation issues rather than economic, health or agricultural aspects of alien invasions. News of upcoming conferences, publications, and reports are also welcome. Please send your contributions, marked "for consideration for Aliens" to Riccardo.Scalera@alice.it If you use any of the information provided in the newsletter, please cite the source as given in the newsletter. If you wish to reproduce a full article please obtain author's permission. For any question on Aliens, please contact Riccardo.Scalera@alice.it Due to escalating printing and mailing costs, Aliens is now being produced electronically (a limited number of hard copies are available for ISSG members and subscribers). All issues of Aliens are available in PDF format below:

Invasive Species Management: A handbook of principles and techniques The Invasives Species Management book has been published by the Oxford University Press and is part of their Techniques in Ecology and Conservation Series. Other titles in the series are:
The Invasive Species Management book focuses on invasive alien species which been spread deliberately or accidently by humans and have caused ecological change. As a result humans are now applying principles for the prevention and/or control of invasive species. The effective management of invasive alien species is clearly a priority for biological conservation worldwide. This book first provides strategies for managing such species at successive invasion stages, from prevention at the border to control of major infestations. It then describes the general tools and approaches that are recommended for successful management of particular groups of invasive organisms in a range of environments. In each case, the ecological basis and practical requirements of invasive alien species management are addressed. The handbook will be useful to a wide readership of students, academics, conservation practitioners, invasive species managers, legislators, and to the broader community concerned with biological conservation.

Global indicators of biological invasion: species numbers, biodiversity impact and Invasive alien species (IAS) pose a significant threat to biodiversity. The
The Atlas of Biodiversity Risk is the first of its kind to describe and summarise in a comprehensive, easy-to-read and richly illustrated form the major pressures, impacts and risks of biodiversity loss at a global level. The main risks identified are caused by global climate and land use change, environmental pollution, loss of pollinators and biological invasions. The impacts and consequences of biodiversity loss are analyzed with a strong focus on socio-economic drivers and their effects on society. more>> The Journal of Applied Ecology Towards an EU Strategy on Invasive Species Business and Biodiversity newsletter of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) To accompany the implementation of decisions VIII/17 and IX/26, the CBD Secretariat publishes Business.2010, a newsletter on business and biodiversity.
