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 …

Natural hazards—such as storms, floods, and wildfires—can be disastrous phenomena and
so can biological invasions, for which impacts are often irrevocable and insidious. Yet …

Globalisation has facilitated the spread of alien species, and some of them have significant
impacts on biodiversity and human societies. It is commonly thought that biological …

Thousands of insect species have been introduced outside of their native ranges, and some
of them strongly impact ecosystems and human societies. Because a large fraction of insects …

Standardised terminology in science is important for clarity of interpretation and
communication. In invasion science–a dynamic and rapidly evolving discipline–the …

Globalization has led to the introduction of thousands of alien species worldwide. With
growing impacts by invasive species, understanding the invasion process remains critical for …

Identifying general patterns and trends underlying the impacts and dynamics of biological
invasions has proven elusive for scientists. Recently, the impact curve was proposed as a …

Invasive species impart abrupt changes on ecosystems, but their impacts on microbial
communities are often overlooked. We paired a 20 y freshwater microbial community time …

Aim Invasive alien species are a growing problem worldwide due to their ecological,
