Les invasions d'espèces introduites causent des dommages à des degrés divers sur les écosystèmes en question et il appartient à la société de faire face aux conséquences. Comment prévenir les invasions biologiques? Comment évaluer le risque qu'ils représentent? Que peut-on faire pour contrôler les invasions actuelles? Conscient de ce problème, le ministère de l'Écologie a demandé à une communauté de chercheurs de disciplines variées de décrypter ces questions à l'aide d'approches biologiques, sociologiques et économiques. Bien que la réponse définitive aux problèmes posés par les espèces envahissantes dans les espaces naturels ne soit pas apportée ici, des progrès indéniables dans la compréhension des mécanismes sous-jacents à ces invasions peuvent éclairer les décisions qui doivent être prises par les gestionnaires de l'environnement. Scientifiques,

     Network logics
     Perceptive variations
     Time is ticking: what are researchers doing?
     Controversy over knowledge
