The literature on biological invasions is biased in favour of invasive species–those that
spread and often reach high abundance following introduction by humans. It is, however …

Aim A major issue in ecology, biogeography, conservation biology and invasion biology is
the extent to which climate, and hence climate change, contributes to the positions of …

Biological invasions and changes in land-use are two components of global change
affecting biodiversity worldwide. There is overriding evidence that invasions can …

Some alien species cause substantial impacts, yet most are innocuous. Given limited
resources, forecasting risks from alien species will help prioritise management. Given that …

Predicting the probability of successful establishment and invasion of alien species at global
scale, by matching climatic and land use data, is a priority for the risk assessment. Both large …

Aim There has been considerable recent interest in modelling the potential distributions of
invasive species. However, research has developed in two opposite directions: the first …

Question How do multivariate methods perform in relating species‐and community‐level
trait responses to the environment? Location (1) Field data from grazed semi‐natural …

Ecologists seek to understand patterns of distribution and abundance of species. Studies of
distribution often use occurrence data to build models of the environmental niche of a …

Anthropogenic global changes in biodiversity are generally portrayed in terms of massive
native species losses or invasions caused by recent human disturbance. Yet these …

The factors that promote invasive behavior in introduced plant species occur across many
scales of biological and ecological organization. Factors that act at relatively small scales …
