The Elton Review series in Biological Invasions is named in recognition of Charles Elton, whose 1958 monograph, The Ecology of Invasions by Animals and Plants, called attention to the scope and impacts of invasions.
This section includes papers that provide information on complete alien floras or faunas of large regions, such as countries, with clearly described criteria used to assess the species’ status as casual, naturalized, or invasive.
Flashpoints are invited paired contributions published together on substantial disputes, knowledge gaps, or controversies over invasion biology, management, or policy.
The Award
The Simberloff Award for Outstanding Presentation is named to recognize Simberloff’s many contributions to the study of nonnative species. The award will be given annually to two students at the Ecological Society of America’s annual meeting who embody Simberloff’s creativity, intelligence, and passion for studying and understanding the biology of nonnative organisms.
