(common guava) Supervisors: Dr. Terry Dawson Dr. Robert J. Whittaker Email: scott@fcdarwin.org.ec or scott.henderson@geog.ox.ac.uk Contents: Research Summary Research Summary Over the past 50 years biological invasions have increasingly been recognized as one of the greatest threats to intact ecosystems and to human security. In spite of this concern and a growing body of evidence that it is justified, many fundamental questions remain unresolved. The Galapagos Islands' simplified ecosystems provide a unique opportunity to research fundamental questions of invasion ecology. A single species, Psidium guajava , has invaded several islands, each to varying degrees over the past hundred years and each of which possesses a characteristic flora and vegetation zonation which further facilitates such a study. This research has the following objectives: 1) develop and analyse a comprehensive dataset of invasive vascular plant species for the Galapagos Islands and determine the extent to which it conforms to or refutes existing models describing plant invasiveness;
