“…In the USA, the earliest known records were from the late 1800s, probably from captive birds (Akhurst, 1877;Kirkwood, 1900). Egyptian Geese remained common in avicultural collections throughout the 20th century (Wilbur and Yocom, 1971). Breeding in nature was first documented in 1967 in California, and in the mid-1980s in Florida .…”

This 381-paged book covers the biology, ecology, impact and management of 34 common alien invasive species, with reviews on the history and context of avian introductions and invasions in five major regions (Oceania, Africa, Europe (including the Middle East, Asia and South America)), as well as management challenges and the potential of citizen science for monitoring alien birds. The book pitches at the introductory level and is ideal for readers to gain a quick and comprehensive view of the current status of global avian invasions. It has brought the records and research of avian invasion one step ahead of other alien invasive animal taxa. Many chapters contain distribution maps and data tables on the diet and morphology of the species, providing a good reference for the species and its management issues. Each chapter also contains a rich list of references that could help readers dive further into the topic.

“…Phillips (1928) commented that the Egyptian goose was commonly kept and that many were imported since 1904 (our emphasis). The birds remained common in avicultural collections and likely accounted for various records throughout North America (Wilbur and Yocom, 1971). Breeding outside of captivity was first reported from California in 1967 (Renwick, 1968).…”

We summarize the history, current distribution, and status of Egyptian geese (Alopochen aegyptiaca) in the contiguous United States, using published records and the eBird database of bird observations. The area of occupancy for the Egyptian goose has increased throughout the contiguous United States. The species has three populations that appear to be strongholds throughout the United States: Florida, California, and Texas. The potential ecological and economic consequences of an apparent increase in the United States warrant further research on a number of aspects of Egyptian goose biology.RESUMEN-Resumimos la historia, la distribuci ón actual y el estado de los gansos del nilo Alopochen aegyptiaca en los estados contiguos de los Estados Unidos, utilizando registros publicados y las observaciones de aves de la base de datos eBird. El territorio ocupado por el ganso del nilo ha aumentado en los estados contiguos de los Estados Unidos. La especie tiene tres poblaciones que parecen ser bastiones en los Estados Unidos: Florida, California y Texas. Las posibles consecuencias ecol ógicas y econ ómicas del aumento del n úmero de gansos en los Estados Unidos merecen más investigaci ón en varios aspectos de la biología del ganso del nilo.
