Invasion biology has many hypotheses, but it is largely unknown whether they are backed up by empirical evidence. This book fills that gap by (a) further developing a tool for assessing research hypotheses and (b) applying it to a number of invasion hypotheses, using the hierarchy-of-hypotheses (HoH) approach.

The Promise of Tropical Forest Regeneration in an Age of Deforestation
