Reconstructing bioinvasion dynamics through micropaleontologic analysis highlights the role of temperature change as a driver of alien foraminifera invasion [PDF]
Invasive alien species threaten biodiversity and ecosystem structure and functioning, but incomplete assessments of their origins and temporal trends impair our ability to understand the relative importance of different factors driving invasion success ...

Are novel and co‐xenic associations common in alien fungal and fungus‐like plant pathogens?
Possible scenarios for plant–pathogen associations during invasion. An introduced plant may occur in a new area without its pathogen (enemy release) or together with its pathogen (co‐introduction). The presence of the alien plant (in red) and its co‐introduced pathogen (in dark red) can result in pathogen spillover to co‐occurring plants. Host jumps to
