This book provides an organized framework on the phenomenon of biological invasions. It focuses on the research experience in South American countries, with a strong emphasis on Chile. The text is divided into three parts: the first part comprises seven self-contained chapters, providing a conceptual and bibliographic foundation in the field of invasion ecology. The second part reviews the ecology of five exotic species, which in the light of the available information have been useful models for case studies. Lastly, the third part presents six chapters that address areas and issues in which exotic species play an important role.Key Words
