Ecology Letters (2011) 14: 702–708 Abstract Biological invasions cause ecological and
economic impacts across the globe. However, it is unclear whether there are strong patterns …

Large-scale exploitation of wild animals and plants through fishing, hunting and logging
often depends on augmentation through releases of translocated or captively raised …

Aquatic macrophytes play an important role in structuring communities in aquatic
environments. These plants provide physical structure, increase habitat complexity and …

Non‐native plants have invaded nearly all ecosystems and represent a major component of
global ecological change. Plant invasions frequently change the composition and structure …

The spread of invasive species is a threat to ecosystems worldwide. However, we know
relatively little about how invasive species affect the behaviour of native animals, even …

Invasive plants can have a major impact on local plant and animal communities. However,
effects of plant invasions on arthropod communities and the potential drivers have rarely …

Despite the wide amount of scientific contributions published on alien plant species, their
diffusion dynamics, and their interactions with native taxa, it is increasingly difficult to slow …

Although they are typically assumed to be negative, the consequences of plant invasions for
native diversity or biological integrity are seldom broadly quantified (ie, for multiple taxa or …

Plant invasions are known to have negative impacts on native plant communities, yet their
influence on higher trophic levels has not been well documented. Past studies investigating …

Biological invasions are a key component of global change, and understanding the drivers
of global invasion patterns will aid in assessing and mitigating the impact of invasive …
