Most invasions start with the introduction of a few individuals and the majority fail to establish
and become invasive populations. A possible explanation for this is that some species are …

Invasive species are a global conservation problem that have an enormous economic cost.
Understanding the attributes of invasive species and what makes them successful at …

In response to uncertain risks, prey may rely on neophobic phenotypes to reduce the costs
associated with the lack of information regarding local conditions. Neophobia has been …

Behavioural plasticity is an advantageous trait for animals living in dynamic environments,
and can be induced through learning. While some behavioural traits are innate, others are …

Biological invasions are considered the second major cause of plant, amphibian, reptile,
and mammal loss worldwide. Like islands, freshwater ecosystems are especially susceptible …

Range shifts of tropical marine species to temperate latitudes are predicted to increase as a
consequence of climate change. To date, the research focus on climate‐mediated range …

Poeciliids are widely recognized as successful invaders, possessing traits associated with
invasion success. Native to Central America and south‐eastern Mexico, the twospot …

Understanding the linkage between behavioral types and dispersal tendency has become a
pressing issue in light of global change and biological invasions. Here, we explore whether …

Behavioural traits are key to promote invasion success because they are easier to adjust to
changing environmental conditions than morphological or life history traits. Often, research …

Climate change and biological invasions are two of the major threats to biodiversity. They
could act synergistically to the detriment of natives as non-native species may be more …
