Biological invasions, the establishment and spread of non‐native species in new regions,
can have extensive economic and environmental consequences. Increased global …

Biological invasions exert multiple pervasive effects on ecosystems, potentially disrupting
species interactions and global ecological processes. Our ability to successfully predict and …

Biological invasions are largely considered to be a “numbers game”, wherein the larger the
introduction effort, the greater the probability that an introduced population will become …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 407–418 Abstract A general understanding of biological
invasions will provide insights into fundamental ecological and evolutionary problems and …

A major challenge of invasion biology is the development of a predictive framework that
prevents new invasions. This is inherently difficult because different biological …

Studies of bioinvasions have revealed various strategies of invasion, depending on the
ecosystem invaded and the alien species concerned. Here, we consider how migration (as a …

The literature on biological invasions has principally focused on understanding the
ecological controls and consequences of invasions. Invading populations, however, often …

Biological invasions may cause serious damage to the native environments and threaten the
native biodiversity. Molecular genetic approaches have been found to be powerful tools for …

While research on biological invasions is becoming more predictive (eg, Mack 1996; Kolar
and Lodge 2001; Peterson 2003; Arim et al. 2006; Mitchell et al. 2006), significant …

The introduction and establishment of alien species is one of the many profound influences
of ongoing anthropogenic global environmental change. Invasion biology has emerged as …
