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 …

Highlights•High basal and plastic tolerance to stress promote pest invasion.•Polyphagy and
diverse reproductive strategies aid invasiveness.•Rapid evolution to stress resistance is a …

Predictions of the identities and ecological impacts of invasive alien species are critical for
risk assessment, but presently we lack universal and standardized metrics that reliably …

A better understanding of how ecological novelty influences interactions in new
combinations of species is key for predicting interaction outcomes, and can help focus …

We contend that invasion ecology requires a universal, measurable trait of species and their
interactions with resources that predicts key elements of invasibility and ecological impact; …

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 …

Brazil is a megadiverse country and is participant of fundamental environmental agreements
for biodiversity conservation. However, the internal politics and the cultures that affect …

Non-native species introduced into reservoirs cause major changes in biodiversity, resulting
in spatial and temporal biotic homogenization and/or differentiation. We used a sampling …

Abstract The Functional Response (FR) has been identified as a powerful predictive tool to
forecast the ecological impacts of existing, emerging and future invasive alien species. In …

When invasive species become integrated within a food web, they may have numerous
direct and indirect impacts on the native community by creating novel trophic links, and …
