[HTML][HTML] Addressing context dependence in ecology
Context dependence is widely invoked to explain disparate results in ecology. It arises when
the magnitude or sign of a relationship varies due to the conditions under which it is …

Freshwater fish invasions: A comprehensive review
Freshwater fish have been widely introduced worldwide, and freshwater ecosystems are
among those most affected by biological invasions. Consequently, freshwater fish invasions …

Small genome size and variation in ploidy levels support the naturalization of vascular plants but constrain their invasive spread
Karyological characteristics are among the traits underpinning the invasion success of
vascular plants. Using 11 049 species, we tested the effects of genome size and ploidy …

Sigmoidal curves reflect impacts and dynamics of aquatic invasive species
Identifying general patterns and trends underlying the impacts and dynamics of biological
invasions has proven elusive for scientists. Recently, the impact curve was proposed as a …

Using the IUCN Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa to inform decision‐making
Abstract The Environmental Impact Classification for Alien Taxa (EICAT) is an important tool
for biological invasion policy and management and has been adopted as an International …

Phage co-transport with hyphal-riding bacteria fuels bacterial invasion in a water-unsaturated microbial model system
Nonmotile microorganisms often enter new habitats by co-transport with motile
microorganisms. Here, we report that also lytic phages can co-transport with hyphal-riding …

Species invasiveness and community invasibility of North American freshwater fish fauna revealed via trait-based analysis
While biological invasions are recognized as a major threat to global biodiversity,
determining non-native species' abilities to establish in new areas (species invasiveness) …

Cities shape the diversity and spread of nonnative species
The globalization of trade and increased human mobility have facilitated the introduction
and spread of nonnative species, posing significant threats to biodiversity and human well …

Distance to native climatic niche margins explains establishment success of alien mammals
One key hypothesis explaining the fate of exotic species introductions posits that the
establishment of a self-sustaining population in the invaded range can only succeed within …
