While biological invasions are recognized as a major threat to global biodiversity,
determining non-native species' abilities to establish in new areas (species invasiveness) …

Exotic species invasions often result in native biodiversity loss, ie a lower taxonomic
diversity, but current knowledge on invasions effects underlined a potential increase of …

Understanding the factors responsible for the success of exotic species is a prevalent issue
in invasion biology. Although the ecological traits of exotic species are known to play a …

Evidence for the theory of biotic resistance is equivocal, with experiments often finding a
negative relationship between invasion success and native species richness, and large …

A major goal and challenge of invasion ecology is to describe and interpret spatial and
temporal patterns of species invasions. Here, we examined fish invasion patterns at four …

Biological invasions are considered to be one of the main threats to biodiversity. Invasions
lead to a loss of native species, changes to species composition, and a shift in the …

Invasive species have transformed local, regional and global biotas; however, few
generalities about the mechanisms driving impacts of invaders have emerged. To explain …

Species distribution models are often used to predict the potential distributions of invasive
species outside their native ranges and rely on the assumption of realized niche …

Observational studies of patterns of species invasions provide important insights into
invasion processes at large spatial scales, leading to improved and focused efforts to …

Species diversity is often an implicit source of biological insurance for communities against
the impacts of novel perturbations, such as the introduction of an invasive species. High …
