In an era of climate change, biological invasions by alien species represent one of the main
anthropogenic drivers of global environmental change. The present study, using an …

Early detection and rapid response are essential to prevent invasive species from thriving in
marine environments following their introduction. Species distribution models (SDMs) are …

Biological invasions and climate change are important drivers of biodiversity loss. In
freshwater ecosystems, golden and zebra mussels are two highly aggressive invasive …

Climatic niche shifts occur when species occupy different climates in the introduced range
than in their native range. Climatic niche shifts are known to occur across a range of taxa …

The most noxious apple snails (Pomacea canaliculata and P. maculata) native to South
America, currently have two distinct invaded ranges in China and the United States. Whether …

Exotic species have invaded freshwater ecosystems, causing biodiversity loss of associated
communities. We investigated the influence of the invasive macrophyte Hydrilla verticillata …

Abstract Aim The distribution of Yersinia pestis, the pathogen that causes plague in humans,
is reliant upon transmission between host species; however, the degree to which host …

Predicting the potential distribution of invaders is informative for pre-emptive policy or
management decisions and identifying suitable areas for establishment of new populations …

Functional traits of exotic species play an important role in their invasive process by
enhancing their performance and promoting them as a potentially malignant invasive …

Some aquatic plants present high biomass production with serious consequences on
ecosystem functioning. Such mass development can be favored by environmental factors …
