Unprecedented rates of introduction and spread of non-native species pose burgeoning
challenges to biodiversity, natural resource management, regional economies, and human …

Biological invasions have been unambiguously shown to be one of the major global causes
of biodiversity loss. Despite the magnitude of this threat and recent scientific advances, this …

For many species, human-induced environmental changes are important indirect drivers of
range expansion into new regions. We argue that it is important to distinguish the range …

Human activities such as the transport of species to new regions and modifications of the
environment are increasingly reshaping the distribution of biota. Accordingly, developing …

In the Anthropocene, alien species are no longer the only category of biological organism
establishing and rapidly spreading beyond historical boundaries. We review evidence …

Understanding and predicting biological invasions is challenging because of the complexity
of many interacting players. A holistic approach is needed with the potential to …

Classifying species as 'native'or 'alien'carries prescriptive force in the valuation and
management of 'nature'. But the classification itself and its application are contested, raising …

The Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species complex currently consists of more than 20
species that utilize small vertebrate hosts as reservoirs and ticks of the genus Ixodes as …

Increased attention to species movement in response to environmental change highlights
the need to consider changes in species distributions and altered biological assemblages …

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