Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 702–708 Abstract Biological invasions cause ecological and
economic impacts across the globe. However, it is unclear whether there are strong patterns …

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 …

Risk maps summarizing landscape suitability of novel areas for invading species can be
valuable tools for preventing species' invasions or controlling their spread, but methods …

There is a long history of introduction of non-native fishes in fresh waters and the
introduction rate has accelerated greatly over time. Although not all introduced fishes have …

Over the last several decades, employers have increasingly replaced permanent employees
with temporary workers and independent contractors to cut labor costs and enhance …

This chapter provides a list of definitions of selected concepts and terms used in invasion
ecology. Many of these have been used in different ways by different authors. The uncritical …

It would be an exaggeration to argue that most invasions produce ecosystem impacts, and
the term should be reserved for cases in which many species in an ecosystem are affected …

The human-assisted spread of non-indigenous fishes and aquatic invertebrates, microbes
and plants has had strong ecological impacts in lakes and rivers worldwide (see, for …

We follow a biological invasion model that consists of a series of five consecutive obligatory
stages, concluding with stages 4a and 5 (ie, widespread= invasive species). The State of …

We give a mini-review of existing European risk assessment procedures and present a
newly developed and tested risk assessment tool for invasive alien species (IAS) in …
