Literature Group 1: This literature group will mainly be used to frame the development of the current mindset that invasive species are approached with. It includes work by Charles Elton, one of the more important figures in ecology, who laid much of the groundwork for the study of biological invasions. The group also includes literature in which invasive species are assumed to be a problem and literature that simply tries to define the issue. This means that management plans already in effect, studies attempting to find more efficient ways to eliminate the invasives, and so on are included.

This mainly includes social perceptions pertaining to specific areas that have been affected by invasive species. Together, these present a very large array of opinions which will be useful in framing how people currently feel about the topic. Furthermore, this literature will be a very good source for interview questions.

They also encourage utilizing sustainability principles as well. //

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Literature 3: Swimming Against the Tide - The literature in this section deals primarily with studies that leave room for the possibility that invasive species are sometimes beneficial. They study the benefits they can have on the ecosystems they invade. The articles in this group also attempt to look at invasive species in a more wholistic way, taking into consideration other factors that even trained ecologists might ignore. It is quite possible this group will form the backbone of the main argument of my paper.

//<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Another study that makes an invasion out to be a good thing. These cases are relatively rare for many reasons and will be very valuable to the research. //

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Literature Group 5: Other Angles - These articles are not directly related to the project at hand. However, they all provide interesting information concerning how humans interact with their environment, how policy is made, and so on. The information contained in the articles could very likely be made applicable to the project.
