Biological invasions: a global assessment of geographic distributions, long‐term trends, and data gaps

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2542-2583, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions are one of the major drivers of biodiversity decline and have been shown to have far‐reaching consequences for society and the economy. Preventing the introduction and spread of alien species represents the most effective solution to reducing their impacts on nature and human well‐being.

The updated Global Naturalized Alien Flora (GloNAF 2.0) database

open access: yesEcology, Volume 106, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract GloNAF is a continuously updated, curated compilation of alien naturalized vascular plant inventories for geographic regions worldwide. Building on its predecessor, GloNAF 2.0 now contains 16,429 taxa and introduces major updates, including the standardization of taxonomic names using the World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP), removal of ...

The non-indigenous bryozoan Triphyllozoon (Cheilostomata: Phidoloporidae) in the Atlantic: morphology and dispersion on the Brazilian coast

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba), 2015
Bryozoans constitute an important component of marine-fouling communities of anthropogenic substrata. Many species have been reported as exotic or widespread around the world, typically in ports and harbors of non-polar regions. Here we present the first

Six Decades of Losses and Gains in Alpha Diversity of European Plant Communities

open access: yesEcology Letters, Volume 28, Issue 11, November 2025.
We developed a new method based on machine learning to interpolate spatiotemporal trends in vascular plant diversity across Europe from 1960 to 2020, utilising vegetation data without temporal replication. We found a near‐zero net change in species richness over the entire period, but declines from 1960 to 1980 were followed by increases from 2000 to ...

Hidden diversity and distributions of ascidian species (Tunicata: Ascidiacea) in Rio de Janeiro revealed by scientific collections [PDF]

open access: yesZoologia (Curitiba)
Since Portuguese colonization in 1500, the coast of Rio de Janeiro has experienced intense marine traffic with many ports, marinas, shipyards, and marine farms, all of which facilitate the spread of marine invertebrates.

Gaps in Global Alien Plant Trait Data and How to Fill Them

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Functional traits help to understand the ecological processes underlying biological invasions. The extent to which trait data are available for alien plants at the global scale is unknown. In this study, we assess the availability of trait data and identify global gaps and biases. Location Global. Time Period Present.

Global Homogenisation of Plant Communities Along Mountain Roads by Non‐Native Species Despite Mixed Effects at Smaller Scales

open access: yesGlobal Ecology and Biogeography, Volume 34, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim Mountain ecosystems are experiencing increased invasion of non‐native plants. These increases in non‐native species put mountains at risk of biotic homogenisation and a reduction of biodiversity. Our study aims to test if non‐native plant species are contributing to biotic homogenisation along roadways in mountain regions and how this ...

Recent invasion of Ponto-Caspian amphipods in the Masurian Lakeland associated with human leisure activities [PDF]

open access: yesNeoBiota
Non-indigenous species (NIS) contribute to the decrease of native species’ diversity on a local and global scale. One of Europe’s most significant donors of freshwater invasions is the Ponto-Caspian Region. Following the construction of artificial canals
