Biological invasions are a global consequence of an increasingly connected world and the
rise in human population size. The numbers of invasive alien species–the subset of alien …

Ecological perturbations caused by biotic invasion have been identified as a growing threat
to global sustainability. Invasive alien plants species (IAPS) are considered to be one of the …

Biological invasions have become a defining feature of marine Mediterranean ecosystems
with significant impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human health. We …

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

The introduction of invasive species, which often differ functionally from the components of
the recipient community, generates ecological impacts that propagate along the food web …

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 …

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 …

To predict the threat of biological invasions to native species, it is critical that we understand
how increasing abundance of invasive alien species (IAS) affects native populations and …

Despite intensive research during the past decade on the effects of alien species, invasion
science still lacks the capacity to accurately predict the impacts of those species and …

Non‐native species cause changes in the ecosystems to which they are introduced. These
changes, or some of them, are usually termed impacts; they can be manifold and potentially …
