Naturalisation of Animals and Plants in New Zealand

Klappentext A 1922 study of the introduction and spread of non-native plants and animals in New Zealand since the 1770s. Zusammenfassung New Zealand's unique advantage in having written records about the introduction of new species from the 1770s onwards allowed George Thomson to trace the origins and spread of most of the island's non-native flora and fauna. His 1922 study provides valuable information about the country's ecological history. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; Part I. Introduction and Historical Records: 1. Introduction; 2.
