Plant invasions, a byproduct of globalization, are increasing worldwide. Because of their
ecological and economic impacts, considerable efforts have been made to understand and …

Purpose of review Forests are frequently exposed to natural disturbances, which are likely to
increase with global change, and may jeopardize the delivery of ecosystem services. Mixed …

Determining the drivers of non-native plant invasions is critical for managing native
ecosystems and limiting the spread of invasive species,. Tree invasions in particular have …

Live bacteria (such as probiotics) have long been used to modulate gut microbiota and
human physiology, but their colonization is mostly transient. Conceptual understanding of …

Our ability to predict invasions has been hindered by the seemingly idiosyncratic context-
dependency of individual invasions. However, we argue that robust and useful …

Much of the literature dealing with the biology and management of invasive species has
focused on the damaging ecological and economic consequences of invasions (see Chaps …

Most biological invasion literature—including syntheses and meta-analyses and the
resulting theory—is reported from temperate regions, drawing only minimally from the tropics …

Invasion science is in a state of paradox, having low predictability despite strong, identifiable
covariates of invasion performance. We propose shifting the foundation metaphor of …

The condition of forest ecosystems depends on the temporal and spatial pattern of
management interventions and natural disturbances. Remnants of previous conditions …

Despite the enormous efforts dedicated to control, the level and rate of invasions are
continuing to increase due to the dramatic growth in international trade and travel, as well as …
