Hi Hilary
Kezia Barker's paper might be helpful (more NZ stuff- we take bioinvasion seriously down there!) both in the way she engages with the biosecurities literature (see the rest of the special issue ...) and in her opening up of the question of public values and involvement
Barker, K (2008) Flexible boundaries in biosecurity: accommodating gorse
in Aotearoa New Zealand, Environment and Planning A volume 40, pages 1598 - 1614
not strictly geographical, but worth a look on the more cultural aspects:
Nativism and Nature: Rethinking Biological Invasion
JONAH H. PERETTI, Environmental Values 7 (1998): 183-92
And a more theoretical rant from me from a few years back:
Clark, N (2002) `The Demon-Seed: Bioinvasion as the Unsettling of Environmental Cosmopolitanism', Theory Culture & Society 19 (1-2) pp 101-126.
I'm just about to revisit the bioinvasion field, in relation to insects, so I'd be happy to hear of any recent work you come across ....

Subject: ATB/RE: Invasive Species and the Ring-necked Parakeet
Dear Hilary
Pyrs Gruffudd has done some work on the possum in New Zealand, where it is an introduced species causing environmental damage. I believe he has a chapter on this subject in the book 'Human and Other Animals: Critical Perspectives' edited by B. Carter and N. Charles.
Best regards,
Tamsin Davies

Subject: Invasive Species and the Ring-necked Parakeet
Dear all, I was wondering if anyone knew of any work within human geography on: 1) invasive species; and/or 2) the Ring-necked Parakeet. I am pulling together a piece of work on citizen science and would be keen to hear of any studies that might relate to the themes above. I am taking this statement from a British Trust for Ornithology article as my inspiration: "The introduction of exotic species to ecosystems can have severe consequences for populations of native organisms, but logistical limitations and shortage of historical data often hinder attempts to quantify the ecological implications of such relationships". This would be where the citizen science, ENTHUSIASM and Ring-necked Parakeets come in. Once again I am happy to share any useful links on my blog: http://hilarygeoghegan.wordpress.com
Thanks a million in advance,
Hilary
