The 'Handbook of Global Freshwater Invasive Species' is a comprehensive and authoritative resource that provides a comprehensive overview of the ecology, impact, and management of non-native species in freshwater ecosystems.

Edited by a team of leading experts in the field, the handbook is divided into six sections:

Ecology of Freshwater Invasive Species
Impact of Freshwater Invasive Species
Management of Freshwater Invasive Species
Case Studies
Future Directions

The handbook is written in a clear and concise style, and is well-illustrated with numerous figures and tables. It is an essential resource for anyone working in the field of freshwater invasive species management.

Section 1:

The first section of the handbook provides an overview of the problem of freshwater invasive species, including their definition, history, and global distribution.

This section also discusses the threats posed by freshwater invasive species, including their impact on human health, the economy, and the environment.

Section 2: Ecology of Freshwater Invasive Species

The second section of the handbook explores the ecology of freshwater invasive species, including their life history, dispersal, and habitat preferences.

This section also discusses the factors that contribute to the success of freshwater invasive species, such as their ability to adapt to new environments and their competitive优势 over native species.

Section 3: Impact of Freshwater Invasive Species

The third section of the handbook examines the impact of freshwater invasive species on human health, the economy, and the environment.

This section discusses the economic costs of freshwater invasive species, including their impact on fisheries, tourism, and water supply.

This section also discusses the environmental impacts of freshwater invasive species, including their impact on biodiversity, habitat loss, and water quality.

Section 4: Management of Freshwater Invasive Species

The fourth section of the handbook provides an overview of the management of freshwater invasive species.

This section discusses the different management strategies that can be used to control freshwater invasive species, including prevention, early detection, and rapid response.

This section also discusses the role of public education and outreach in the management of freshwater invasive species.

Section 5: Case Studies

The fifth section of the handbook provides a series of case studies that illustrate the different management approaches that can be used to control freshwater invasive species.

These case studies cover a range of different species and ecosystems, and provide valuable insights into the challenges and successes of freshwater invasive species management.
