Invasive species are a major element of global change and are contributing to biodiversity
loss, ecosystem degradation, and impairment of ecosystem services worldwide. Research is …

Non‐native species can cause the loss of biological diversity (ie, genetic, species, and
ecosystem diversity) and threaten the well‐being of humans when they become invasive. In …

Species moved by human activities beyond the limits of their native geographic ranges into
areas in which they do not naturally occur (termed aliens) can cause a broad range of …

Abstract Recently, Blackburn et al.(2014) developed a simple, objective and transparent

The Russian conquest of Siberia was an event of which the consequences have only slowly
become apparent. Already great, they may come to dominate much of our world; with today's …

A systematic review focused by plant on non-target impacts from agents deliberately

Tamarix ramosissima is a naturalized, nonnative plant species which has become
widespread along riparian corridors throughout the western United States. We test the …

Background Green infrastructure is a strategic network of green spaces designed to deliver

Initially introduced to western United States to provide ecosystem services such as erosion
control, Tamarix by the mid‐1900s had became vilified as a profligate waster of water. This …

We are causing species to go extinct at extraordinary rates, altering existing species in
unprecedented ways, and creating entirely new species. More than ever before, we require …
