Functional trait–based mediation of animal invasions is only now develo**, yet it is
already showing as much promise as the approach has for plant invasion biology. Here, we …

Significant changes in the environment have the potential to affect bird species abundance
and distribution, both directly, through a modification of the landscape, habitats, and climate …

Ducks and geese are little studied dispersal vectors for plants lacking a fleshy fruit, and our
understanding of the traits associated with these plants is limited. We analyzed 507 faecal …

Global declines in bird and arthropod abundance highlights the importance of
understanding the role of food limitation and arthropod community composition for the …

Cities are considered hotspots of biological invasions, yet it remains unclear why non‐
indigenous species are so successful in environments that most local native species do not …

Co‐evolutionary relationships associated with biogeographical context mediate the
response of native prey to introduced predators, but this effect has not yet been …

The adverse impacts of alien birds are widespread and diverse, and associated with costs
due to the damage caused and actions required to manage them. We synthesised global …

The endangered and poorly known Swamp Grass-babbler, Laticilla cinerascens
(Passeriformes: Pellorneidae), confronts critical threats and vulnerability due to its specific …

Freshwater megafauna species (ie, animals that can reach a body mass≥ 30 kg, including
fish, reptiles, mammals, and amphibians) play important roles in freshwater systems (eg, by …

Invasive alien species (IAS) are a major threat to insular vertebrates, although the ecological
characteristics that make insular communities vulnerable to IAS are poorly understood. After …
