Projecting the continental accumulation of alien species through to 2050
Biological invasions have steadily increased over recent centuries. However, we still lack a
clear expectation about future trends in alien species numbers. In particular, we do not know …

Global rise in emerging alien species results from increased accessibility of new source pools
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 …
