Ecological perturbations caused by biotic invasion have been identified as a growing threat
to global sustainability. Invasive alien plants species (IAPS) are considered to be one of the …

ABSTRACT A changing climate may directly or indirectly influence biological invasions by
altering the likelihood of introduction or establishment, as well as modifying the geographic …

Functional ecology is the branch of ecology that focuses on various functions that species
play in the community or ecosystem in which they occur. This accessible guide offers the …

Biological invasions have become a defining feature of marine Mediterranean ecosystems
with significant impacts on biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human health. We …

Aim The introduction of aquatic non‐indigenous species (ANS) has become a major driver
for global changes in species biogeography. We examined spatial patterns and temporal …

Species moved by human activities beyond the limits of their native geographic ranges into
areas in which they do not naturally occur (termed aliens) can cause a broad range of …

Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 702–708 Abstract Biological invasions cause ecological and

With the growing body of literature assessing the impact of invasive alien plants on resident
species and ecosystems, a comprehensive assessment of the relationship between invasive …

Biological invasions have been unambiguously shown to be one of the major global causes
of biodiversity loss. Despite the magnitude of this threat and recent scientific advances, this …

To predict the threat of biological invasions to native species, it is critical that we understand
