The family Myrtaceae has contributed many species to the global list of invasive trees and shrubs. Recent widespread planting of many Melaleuca species (bottle brushes and paperbarks) around the world is adding to this list!

There is a general pessimism about progress in managing invasive species. But, we all know about success stories. We need to scale up and replicate such "seeds" of success! Read how we can "create alternative visions of the future" to ensure better invasive species management.

A product of good collaboration during my sabbatical in Prague has just been published. We hope that this review will serve as an accessible gateway to the massive literature on this exciting and important topic for students, managers and researchers.

Great to see that the "second edition" of this classic book has been published. Bravo to Dan Simberloff and Tony Ricciardi for providing such informative text on little-known facts about Elton, how the book came to be written, and much more. Essential reading for all ecologists!.

EMAPI 2019 was invaded by a strong contingent of folks with current or past affiliation with the Centre for Invasion Biology. Great talks and posters on a wide range of issues in invasion science, superb networking. All in all a brilliant EMAPI conference. Thanks to Petr et al.!
