Few invasive birds are as globally successful as the Common or European Starling (Sturnus
vulgaris). Native to the Palearctic, the starling has been intentionally introduced to North and …

Urbanization is one of the most important threats to biodiversity worldwide, as it drives
declines in species diversity, functional diversity, and phylogenetic diversity and increases …

A detailed understanding of population genetics in invasive populations helps us to identify
drivers of successful alien introductions. Here, we investigate putative signals of selection in …

Understanding the determinants of the range expansion of invasive alien species is crucial
for developing effective prevention and control strategies. Nevertheless, we still lack a global …

Abstract The Common Starling (Sturnus vulgaris) is an invasive bird introduced in Argentina
in the 1980's that shares flocks with both native and exotic birds. Analyzing interspecific …

European starlings (Sturnus vulgaris) were introduced ca. 40 years ago to South America,
where they naturalized to central and northern Argentina, now reaching some neighboring …

Currently, there is a consensus that biological invasions are one of the most important
factors in global change due to their ability to modify structures and functions of many …

The widespread human activity on Earth exerts strong selective pressures on the species
with which we coexist. Faced with constant environmental change, species respond with …

Bird communities in agroecosystems bring both ecosystem services (eg, pollination) and
disservices (eg, crop exploitation) to farmers. However, in the proximity of wetland reserves …
