Biological invasions are a global phenomenon that threatens biodiversity, and few, if any,
ecosystems are free from alien species. The outcome of human‐mediated introductions is …

A definitive list of invasive species traits remains elusive, perhaps due to inconsistent ways
of identifying invasive species. Invasive species are typically identified using one or more of …

Prioritization is indispensable for the management of biological invasions, as recognized by
the Convention on Biological Diversity, its current strategic plan, and specifically Aichi Target …

Aim Climate change has increased the risk of biological invasions, particularly by increasing
the climatically suitable regions for invasive alien species. The distribution of many native …

Supergeneralists, defined as species that interact with multiple groups of species in
ecological networks, can act as important connectors of otherwise disconnected species …

The risk of aquatic invasions in the Arctic is expected to increase with climate warming,
greater shipping activity and resource exploitation in the region. Planktonic and benthic …

We apply the concept of biodiversity hotspot analysis (the identification of biogeographical
regions of high species diversity) to identify invasion hotspots–areas of potentially suitable …

Aim Understanding the conditions that promote biological invasions is a critical step to
developing successful management strategies. However, the level of invasion is affected by …

Aim Hotspots of human activity are focal points for ecosystem disturbance and non‐native
introduction, from which invading populations disperse and spread. As such, connectivity to …

The invasion and expansion of the Indian Ocean seagrass Halophila stipulacea into the
Eastern Caribbean raises the question of how local seagrass communities respond to this …
