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 …

A predictive understanding of the ecological impacts of nonnative species has been slow to
develop, owing largely to an apparent dearth of clearly defined hypotheses and the lack of a …

Although invasive species are viewed as major threats to ecosystems worldwide, few such
species have been studied in enough detail to identify the pathways, magnitudes, and …

Invasive species represent a significant threat to global biodiversity and a substantial
economic burden. Burmese pythons, giant constricting snakes native to Asia, now are found …

Non‐native species introductions affect freshwater communities by changing community
compositions, functional roles, trait occurrences and ecological niche spaces …

Large‐bodied predators are well represented among the world's threatened and
endangered species. A significant body of literature shows that in terrestrial and marine …

The question about whether evolution is unpredictable and stochastic or intermittently
constrained along predictable pathways is the subject of a fundamental debate in biology, in …

We conducted a quantitative and qualitative chemical analysis of cane toad bufadienolides—
the cardioactive steroids that are believed to be the principal cane toad toxins. We found …

Even when we cannot eradicate an invasive species, we may be able to reduce its
ecological impact. In Australia, a critically endangered predator, the northern quoll Dasyurus …

Our best hope of developing innovative methods to combat invasive species is likely to
come from the study of high-profile invaders that have attracted intensive research not only …
