BERNHARD KEGEL
DIE AMEISE ALS TRAMP/
THE ANT AS A TRAMP
Non-Fiction, 512 pp., Autumn 2012
On the trail of animal migrants
Rabbit plagues in Australia, ants in mainframe computers and hospitals, piranhas in French rivers – these are the types of incidents that make up invasion biology.
The colonisation of new habitats has always been a matter of survival for plants and animals. Obstacles used to exist that obstructed the urge to travel. Mountains, oceans, continents and deserts formed insurmountable barriers. The situation changed with the arrival of modern man. An infrastructure network now connects that which was separated for millions of years. Nature hitches a ride with goods being transported from one continent to another. Bernhard Kegel’s fascinating book describes the surprising consequences this has for both our environment and us.
