Although most studies of factors contributing to successful establishment and spread of non-
native species have focused on species traits and characteristics (both biotic and abiotic) …

Some alien species cause substantial impacts, yet most are innocuous. Given limited
resources, forecasting risks from alien species will help prioritise management. Given that …

The rate of biological invasions has strongly increased during the last decades, mostly due
to the accelerated spread of species by increasing global trade and transport. Here, we …

The expansion of global air travel and seaborne trade overcomes geographic barriers to
insect disease vectors, enabling them to move great distances in short periods of time. Here …

Given that the impact exerted by non-indigenous crayfish species (NICS) is most often
severe, can occur across many levels of ecological organization, and results in the loss of …

We present a contribution to the knowledge of marine and brackish water alien species
(infraspecific taxa included) recorded along the Italian coasts. The Italian Peninsula, with …

A prominent vector of aquatic invasive species to coastal regions is the discharge of water,
sediments, and biofilm from ships' ballast-water tanks. During eight years of studying ships …
