It has been suggested that alien species with close indigenous relatives in the introduced
range may have reduced chances of successful establishment and invasion (Darwin's …

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 …

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

Species invasions are pervasive in Earth history, yet the ecological and evolutionary
consequences vary greatly. Ancient invasion events can be organized in a hierarchy of …

Invasive alien species come from most taxonomic groups, and invasion biology is searching
for robust cross-taxon generalizations and principles. An analysis of 2670 papers dealing …
