Biological invasions are a global consequence of an increasingly connected world and the
rise in human population size. The numbers of invasive alien species–the subset of alien …

The redistribution of alien species across the globe accelerated with the start of European
colonialism. European powers were responsible for the deliberate and accidental …

Invasions by nonnative insect species can massively disrupt ecological processes, often
leading to serious economic impacts. Previous work has identified propagule pressure as …

Regional species assemblages have been shaped by colonization, speciation and
extinction over millions of years. Humans have altered biogeography by introducing species …

Humans cultivate thousands of economic plants (ie plants with economic value) outside their
native ranges. To analyze how this contributes to naturalization success, we combine global …

Darwin's naturalization hypothesis predicts successful alien invaders to be distantly related
to native species, whereas his pre-adaptation hypothesis predicts the opposite. It has been …

While most alien species fail to establish, some invade native communities and become
widespread. Our understanding of invasion success is derived mainly from pairwise …

The year 2020 and the next few years are critical for the development of the global
biodiversity policy agenda until the mid-21st century, with countries agreeing to a Post-2020 …

Karyological characteristics are among the traits underpinning the invasion success of
vascular plants. Using 11 049 species, we tested the effects of genome size and ploidy …
