Understanding factors driving successful invasions is one of the cornerstones of invasion
biology. Bird invasions have been frequently used as study models, and the foundation of …

Human-mediated translocation of species to areas beyond their natural distribution (which
results in 'alien'populations) is a key signature of the Anthropocene, and is a primary global …

Aim Invasion processes are probably better understood for birds than for any other taxon,
thanks to detailed information available on deliberate introductions performed by Europeans …

▪ Abstract A growing number of species have been transported and introduced by humans to
new locations and have established self-sustaining wild populations beyond their natural …

1. The establishment of species outside their natural geographical ranges is an important
driver of changes in global biodiversity. This creates an imperative to understand why some …

One of the strongest generalities in invasion biology is the positive relationship between
probability of establishment and the numbers of individuals introduced. Nevertheless, a …

Both human-related and natural factors can affect the establishment and distribution of
exotic species. Understanding the relative role of the different factors has important scientific …

Aim Determining the causes of range size variation in the distributions of alien species is
important for understanding the spread of invasive species. Factors influencing alien range …

The introduction of species to locations where they do not naturally occur (termed aliens)
can have far-reaching and unpredictable environmental and economic consequences …

Invasive species pose a major threat to biodiversity and inflict massive economic costs.
Effective management of bio-invasions depends on reliable predictions of areas at risk of …
