The primary goal of invasive species management is to eliminate or reduce populations of
invasive species. Although management efforts are often motivated by broader goals such …

Aim Terrestrial invertebrates comprise a large proportion of alien species world‐wide, yet a
quantitative global synthesis of their effects on native species and ecosystems has not been …

Land degradation results in declining biodiversity and the disruption of ecosystem
functioning worldwide, particularly in the tropics. Vegetation restoration is a common tool …

1. With evidence of significant global insect declines mounting, urgent calls to mitigate such
declines are also increasing. Efforts to reverse insect declines will only succeed, however, if …

A flurry of recently published studies indicates that both insects and birds have experienced
wide-scale population declines in the last several decades. Curiously, whether insect and …

As drivers of global change, biological invasions have fundamental ecological
consequences. However, it remains unclear how invasive plant effects on resident animals …

During the last two centuries, thousands of insect species have been transported (largely
inadvertently) and established outside of their native ranges worldwide, some with …

Plant invasions have consistently been shown to cause significant reductions in the diversity
of recipient plant communities; an effect that can cascade through ecosystems to impact the …

Secondary succession in former arable fields (ie old fields) might be altered by the
colonization of invasive alien species, with possible community-wide impacts, hindering the …

Despite significant growth in the information on introduced species (NIS), agreement on their
comparative fitness and effects on native (NAT) communities is heterogeneous. Hypotheses …
