Human-mediated species invasions are a significant component of current global
environmental change. There is every indication that the rate at which locations are …

The process by which a species becomes a biological invader, at a location where it does
not naturally occur, can be divided into a series of sequential stages (transport, introduction …

Aim To synthesize the species distribution modelling (SDM) literature to inform which
variables have been used in MaxEnt models for different taxa and to quantify how frequently …

There has been a recent surge of interest in remote sensing and its use in ecology and
conservation but this is the first book to focus explicitly on the NDVI (Normalised Difference …

No species occurs everywhere. Indeed, the majority are absent from most places, and where
they do occur they are usually quite rare. Gaston discusses the structure of these …

We present a framework for explaining variation in predator invasion success and predator
impacts on native prey that integrates information about predator–prey naïveté, predator and …

Broad‐scale variation in taxonomic richness is strongly correlated with climate. Many
mechanisms have been hypothesized to explain these patterns; however, testable …

A consistent determinant of the establishment success of alien species appears to be the
number of individuals that are introduced to found a population (propagule pressure), yet …

Invasion ecology has been criticised for its lack of general principles. To explore this
criticism, we conducted a meta-analysis that examined characteristics of invasiveness (ie the …

This book assembles detailed information on the components of the invasive-species
problem from the USA, British Isles, Australia, South Africa, India and Brazil. Data provided …
