dc.description.abstract
Charles Elton was a founder of ecology with
fundamental contributions to diverse topics such as
fluctuations of animal populations, food web theory,
or what is now known as the Eltonian definition of
the ecological niche (Macfadyen 1992; Simberloff
2000; Hardy 2002). His 1927 book Animal Ecology
was reprinted many times and he was the first editor
of the Journal of Animal Ecology. One of Elton’s
most influential contributions, however, was his book
The ecology of invasions by animals and plants, first
published in 1958. Although many earlier authors
including Darwin had dealt with invasive species, this
book has been considered the starting point for
focused scientific attention on biological invasions
and is the most cited reference in the field (Pysek
et al. 2006; Richardson and Pysek 2007; Ricciardi
and MacIsaac 2008; Richardson and Pysˇek 2008)
