Freshwater fish have been widely introduced worldwide, and freshwater ecosystems are
among those most affected by biological invasions. Consequently, freshwater fish invasions …

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 …

This new edition of Invasion Ecology provides a comprehensive and updated introduction to
all aspects of biological invasion by non-native species. Highlighting important research …

We present a framework for explaining variation in predator invasion success and predator
impacts on native prey that integrates information about predator–prey naïveté, predator and …

The Ecological Society of America has evaluated current US national policies and practices
on biological invasions in light of current scientific knowledge. Invasions by harmful …

Invasive alien species are a great threat to biodiversity and human livelihoods worldwide.
The most effective way to limit their impacts and costs is to prevent their introduction into new …

Ecological invasions, where non-native species spread to new areas, grow to high densities
and have large, negative impacts on ecological communities, are a major worldwide …

This article summarises the results of 49 studies that together test the significance of 115
characteristics in 7 biological groups: birds, finfish, insects, mammals, plants …

Invasion ecology urgently requires predictive methodologies that can forecast the ecological
impacts of existing, emerging and potential invasive species. We argue that many …

The introduction and spread of non-native species is one of the least reversible human-
induced global changes. In South Africa, non-native fish introductions have occurred over …
