Ten conference papers focus on current developments and research on the effects of introduced species and gaps in our knowledge of them. Research covers the impacts of the predatory seastar ( Asterias amurensis ) on the benthos; the decomposition rate of native eelgrass ( Zostera marina ) versus that of the non-native eelgrass ( Z. japonica ) and its consequences on nutrient cycling; and the social, economic, and ecological effects of the extinction of a native coconut moth ( Levuana iridescens ).
