DESCRIPTION:Anthony Ricciardi (Redpath Museum and 秀色直播 School of\nEnviron
 ment)\n\nDriven by the movement of people and cargo across the planet\,\nt
 housands of species of plants\, animals and microbes are spreading\ninto n
 ew regions faster and farther than at any other time in\nEarth's history. 
 These 'biological invasions' can cause\nextinctions\, disrupt ecosystems\,
  alter natural resources\, threaten\nhuman health\, and even pose national
  security problems. Despite\nthese risks\, some ecologists have advocated 
 planned invasions to\nrescue species threatened by climate change. Termed 
 'assisted\ncolonization'\, their proposal involves moving potentially larg
 e\nnumbers of species to favorable habitats well beyond their native\nrang
 e. This Cutting Edge Lecture in\nScience evaluates this controversial stra
 tegy and the ecological\nand societal impacts of invasions worldwide.\n\nA
 nthony Ricciardi is an associate professor in both the Redpath\nMuseum and
  the 秀色直播 School of Environment\, where he teaches\ncourses on animal di
 versity\, environmental science\, and the ecology\nof species invasions.聽 
 He received his PhD from 秀色直播 (in\n1997)\, and was an NSERC Postdoctoral
  Fellow at Universit茅 Laval and\na Killam Fellow at Dalhousie University. 
 He is an associate editor\nfor the journal Diversity and Distributions and
  the\njournal Biological Invasions\, and he serves on the\nscientific comm
 ittee of the Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species\nNetwork - a national NSERC
 -funded research group that assesses the\nrisks of invasion in Canada's la
 kes\, rivers and coastal waters.\nInitiated in 2003 with the express purpo
 se of fostering\ncommunication between scientists in different disciplines
  as well\nas between scientists and the public\, Cutting\nEdge Lectures in
  Science are made possible through\nthe generous support of Faculty of Med
 ical Sciences (Professor\nMarianna Newkirk\, Associate Dean Research)\, Fa
 culty of Arts\n(Professor Christopher Manfredi\, Dean)\, Faculty of Agricu
 ltural and\nEnvironmental Sciences (Professor Chandra Madramootoo\, Dean)\
 ,\nFaculty of Science (Professor Martin Grant\, Dean) and the Centre\nfor 
 Applied Mathematics in Bioscience and Medicine (CAMBAM). For\nmore informa
