Recent patterns of global change have highlighted the importance of understanding the
dynamics and mechanisms of species range shifts and expansions. Unique demographic …

Behavioral interference between species, such as territorial aggression, courtship, and
mating, is widespread in animals. While aggressive and reproductive forms of interspecific …

Ecosystems are exposed to multiple stressors which can compromise functioning and
service delivery. These stressors often co‐occur and interact in different ways which are not …

When present in sympatry, invasive species have the potential to amplify or mitigate their
ecological impacts through their trophic interactions. Their trophic niches may overlap …

The spread of non-native species results in novel and often unexpected assemblages.
Using stable isotopes, we disentangled the trophic relationships between three invasive …

Multiple invasive species have now established at most locations around the world, and the
rate of new species invasions and records of new invasive species continue to grow …

Freshwater mussels and crayfish provide important ecosystem functions and services. In
both groups, global declines of native species are paralleled by invasions of non‐native …

Successful microbial invasions are determined by a species' ability to occupy a niche in the
new habitat whilst resisting competitive exclusion by the resident community. Despite the …

Traits that aid in the invasion process should exhibit a gradient across the expansion range
in response to changing selection pressures. Aggression has been repeatedly associated …

North American cambarid crayfish have been highly successful in establishing and
spreading across Europe and are now over-invading earlier arrivals in many water bodies …
