Understanding the causes of spatial variation in the distribution and richness of alien
species is a key goal of invasion biology. Thanks to the increasing availability of …

The global trade in live wildlife elevates the risk of biological invasions by increasing
colonization pressure (the number of alien species introduced to an area). Yet, our …

Macroecology is the study of patterns, and the processes that determine those patterns, in
the distribution and abundance of organisms at large scales, whether they be spatial (from …

The large environmental impacts and enormous economic costs caused by biological
invasions provide a strong impetus for managing invasion risks. Understanding the factors …

Aim Human activities have introduced numerous non‐native species (NNS) worldwide.
Understanding and predicting large‐scale NNS establishment patterns remain fundamental …

La biodiversidad comprende la variabilidad de organismos y los sistemas ecológicos de los
que forma parte, y constituye el sustento de la humanidad. Sin embargo, las actividades …

River–floodplain systems are characterized by high connectivity, which favours the spread of
non-native species. In floodplain, floods increase connectivity, which increases the similarity …

Priority effects can play a fundamental role in the assembly of ecological communities, but
how they shape the dynamics of biodiversity over macroevolutionary timescales remains …

Aim Species introductions have reshaped island faunas for the last 200 years, often
threatening native biodiversity. Approximately equal numbers of native and alien species …

The last two decades have seen growing use of phylogenetic patterns to test hypotheses
predicting the success of introduced species. Nearly all of these tests have focused on …
