A global dataset of native and alien distributions of alien species. [PDF]
Sci DataAbstract Biological invasions have been identified as a major threat to nature with far-reaching consequences also for human-wellbeing. Mitigating and preventing further impacts requires knowledge about the origins of alien species and their spread dynamics.

Scientists' warning on invasive alien species [PDF]
Biological Reviews, 2020 ABSTRACTBiological 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 species that spread widely in areas where they are not native, affecting the environment or human livelihoods – are increasing.

The Cyprus Database of Alien Species (CyDAS). [PDF]
Sci DataAbstract Invasive alien species (IAS) are a direct driver of global biodiversity loss, and can also affect societies, economies and human health. Maintaining up-to-date alien species inventories is important for informing policy and management decisions.

Physico-chemical variables determining the invasion risk of freshwater habitats by alien mollusks and crustaceans [PDF]
, 2012 The aim of this study was to assess the invasion risk of freshwater habitats and determine the environmental variables that are most favorable for the establishment of alien amphipods, isopods, gastropods, and bivalves.

Does residence time affect responses of alien species richness to environmental and spatial processes? [PDF]
, 2012 One of the most robust emerging generalisations in invasion biology is that the probability of invasion increases with the time since introduction (residence time). We analysed the spatial distribution of alien vascular plant species in a region of north-

From Alien Species to Alien Communities: Host- and Habitat-Associated Microbiomes in an Alien Amphibian. [PDF]
Microb Ecol, 2023 AbstractAlien species can host diverse microbial communities. These associated microbiomes may be important in the invasion process and their analysis requires a holistic community-based approach. We analysed the skin and gut microbiome of Eleutherodactylus johnstonei from native range populations in St Lucia and exotic range populations in Guadeloupe,

Alien plants in urban nature reserves : from red-list species to future invaders? [PDF]
, 2011 Urban reserves, like other protected areas, aim to preserve species richness but conservation efforts in these protected areas are complicated by high proportions of alien species.

Temporal introduction patterns of invasive alien plant species to Australia [PDF]
, 2012 We examined temporal introduction patterns of 132 invasive alien plant species (IAPS) to Australia since European colonisation in 1770. Introductions of IAPS were high during 1810–1820 (10 species), 1840– 1880 (51 species, 38 of these between 1840 and ...
