Description: Evaluating cases of invasive organisms from around the world, Invasive Insects and Diseases provides an overview of invasive species: what makes a species invasive and what problems they cause to the habitats they infiltrate. By analyzing patterns of the Asian Longhorned Beetle infestation in the United States, the plague of Asian Tiger Mosquitos spreading West Nile virus around the world, and many more, students realize how all living things are connected and how they, as humans, impact the environment.
