Our ability to predict the spread of alien species is largely based on knowledge of previous
invasion dynamics of individual species. However, in view of the large and growing number …

Our ability to predict the identity of future invasive alien species is largely based upon
knowledge of prior invasion history. Emerging alien species—those never encountered as …

Globalization facilitates the spread of invasive alien species (IAS) as international commerce
develops new trade routes, markets, and products. New technologies increase the pace at …

Aim The number of alien species has been increasing for centuries world‐wide, but
temporal changes in the dynamics of their inter‐regional spread remain unclear. Here, we …

Humans are facilitating the introduction and range expansion of invasive alien species (IAS),
which have negatively impacted ecological and socio-economic systems worldwide …

Biological invasions are synonymous with international trade. The direct effects of trade
have largely been quantified using relationships between imports and the number of alien …

Because invasive species threaten the integrity of natural ecosystems, a major goal in
ecology is to develop predictive models to determine which species may become …

Managing biological invasions relies on good global coverage of species distributions.
Accurate information on alien species distributions, obtained from international policy and …

Invasive alien species (IAS) exact large biodiversity and economic costs and are a
significant component of human-induced, global environmental change. Previous studies …

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