入侵生态学最新研究动态

生物入侵是生态学研究的热点问题.近年来,诸多研究在入侵机理及入侵后效等方面取得一系列进展.在全球变化背景下,外来生物凸显出形式更为多样的入侵过程并为入侵生态学带来新的挑战.本文紧扣生物入侵的发生机理、途径及其生态学后效等关键问题,从入侵机制、生物入侵对生态系统及人类健康的影响、全球变化下的入侵响应等方面介绍了入侵生态学近期取得的最新进展;指出在入侵生态学未来的研究中,生物入侵与人类健康、全球变化下的入侵态势、水域生态系统中的外来生物入侵等问题将会引起更大重视.

Recent progress in invasion ecology

Biological invasion has been one of the hottest topics in ecology in recent years. There has been much progress in understanding the mechanisms of biological invasions and their impacts on ecosystems. At a time of rapid global changes, we are facing new challenges from biological invasions. Here we review recent progress in invasion ecology with respect to invasion mechanisms, the impacts of invasive species on ecosystems and human health, and the responses of invasive species to global changes. We recommend that priorities for future study are the impacts of biological invasions on human health, biological invasions under global change, and invasive species in aquatic ecosystems.
