This beautifully illustrated book is your guide to the invasive species found across North America.

Invasive flora and fauna adversely affect our ecosystems. Some species are introduced purposefully and can be harmless or even beneficial to other native species, but others can cause great ecological and environmental harm. This book features 100 invasive plants, animals, and microbes found across North America. Learn the identifying characteristics of each species, their habitats, their impacts on each ecosystem, and why they have been able to proliferate.

This book includes:

  • Wild boars that devour crops and native vegetation
  • Burmese pythons that annihilate native mammal populations
  • Starlings that destroy crops
  • Asian carp that out-compete native fish for habitat and food
  • Nutria that damage natural resources
  • And more!

Discover the careful balance of ecosystems with The Book of Invasive Species.
