 Resources from the IBI:

Click here for the Appendix (a .pdf file) and click here for the C program "Grafwalk.c" mentioned in Zaman, A. and D. Simberloff. 2002. Random binary matrices in biogeographical ecology - instituting a good neighbor policy. Environmental and Ecological Statistics 9:405-421.

The massive link list below includes legitimate Internet- and paper-based sources of information about biological invasions. This is mainly a surfers' site, and not a search engine, so I included mainly cool, interesting, readable, informative sites with lots of links. Sites are listed by category, so duplication is inevitable, but a searchable database of web links is forthcoming. If you find any bad links, want to add a link, or have any suggestions, e-mail Todd Campbell at lizardman@utk.edu. Happy surfing!

Key to Symbols:
* All or largely peer-reviewed information
+ Numerous links to related species or topics

Employment 

The IBI Employment Page is a random collection of old (past the deadline) job ads that were cut and pasted from various listserv groups and Internet sites, and the following is a list of links to opportunities in all aspects of biological invasions. Note: these lists simply indicate the myriad types of things that exotic invasive species managers and researchers work on and indicate the kinds of jobs available in this field. It is NOT a job board or updated list of employment opportunities.
