Cang Hui is a Professor of Mathematical Biology and the South
African Research Chair in Mathematical and Theoretical Physical
Biosciences based at Stellenbosch University and the African
Institute for Mathematical Sciences in South Africa. His research
focuses on developing models and theories for explaining emerging
patterns of biodiversity, networks, and traits in ecology and
evolution. Biological invasions provide a model
system for his research. Hui has published more than 100 papers and
received the Elsevier Young Scientist Award in 2011. He is a
core-team member of the DST-NRF Centre of Excellence for Invasion
Biology and is on the editorial board of several journals,
including Biological Invasions, BMC Ecology, Ecological Complexity,
and Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution. David M. Richardson is
Distinguished Professor of Ecology and the Director of the DST-NRF
Centre of Excellence for
Invasion Biology, based at Stellenbosch University, South Africa.
His research focuses mainly on plant invasions, especially trees
and shrubs. He is interested in the biogeography, ecology and
management of invasions and in
conservation biogeography in general. Richardson has published more
than 350 papers, edited or co-edited 6 books and has received
several awards, including the Hans Sigrist Prize in 2006 and the
2013 John F.W. Herschel Medal from the Royal Society of South
Africa. He served as Editor-in-Chief of the journal Diversity and
Distributions between 1998 and 2015 and is Associate Editor of
several other journals, including Biological Invasions and
Neobiota.
The new volume by Hui and Richardson represents a clear summary of the scientific advances that have been made over the past few decades and, importantly, sets forth a new and bold agenda for the field for the coming years. Harold Mooney, BioScience
