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

Introductions of non‐native freshwater fish continue to increase globally, although only a
small proportion of these introductions will result in an invasion. These invasive populations …

Pioneering investigations on the effects of introduced populations on community structure,
ecosystem functioning and services have focused on the effects of invaders on taxonomic …

Identifying general patterns and trends underlying the impacts and dynamics of biological
invasions has proven elusive for scientists. Recently, the impact curve was proposed as a …

Biological invasions are a global challenge that has received insufficient attention. Recently
available cost syntheses have provided policy-and decision makers with reliable and up-to …

Despite significant growth in the information on introduced species (NIS), agreement on their
comparative fitness and effects on native (NAT) communities is heterogeneous. Hypotheses …

Novel trophic interactions between invasive and native species potentially increase levels of
interspecific competition in the receiving environment. However, theory on the trophic …

Predicting which non-native species will negatively impact biodiversity is a longstanding
research priority. The Functional Response (FR; resource use in relation to availability) is a …

Alien species form one of the main threats to global biodiversity. Although Life Cycle
Assessment attempts to holistically assess environmental impacts of products and services …
