knowledge of prior invasion history. Emerging alien species—those never encountered as …

Aim The importance of anthropogenic activities in reshaping biodiversity is increasing fast.
Interactive effects of climate change, biological invasions and species replacement are …

Invasive plant species (IPS) have a high potential for expanding within biodiversity hotspots
and threatening global plant diversity. Hence, it is urgent to assess the expansion risk of IPS …

Although many hypotheses explaining invasion success have been formulated, invasion
drivers are usually tested in isolation. This work aims to analyze the combined influence of …

Predicting where species invasions will occur is one of the greatest challenges in
conservation. Freshwater ecosystems are very vulnerable to the introduction of non-native …

Non-native species pose one of the greatest threats to native biodiversity, and can have

By using the LifeWatch database–a European e-science infrastructure on native and alien
plant occurrence collected from a wide set of Italian terrestrial sites–we estimated the …

Insect pests strongly affect the productivity and profitability of agriculture and forestry.
Despite the well-known sensitivity of insects to abiotic effects such as temperature, their …

Freshwater lakes provide ideal habitat for invasive species, such as the zebra mussel, which
can weaken lake ecological integrity by altering food web structure and dynamics. This case …

Les invasions biologiques, deuxième cause de perte de biodiversité à l'échelle mondiale,
