Population growth lags in introduced species [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 When introduced to new ecosystems, species' populations often grow immediately postrelease. Some introduced species, however, maintain a low population size for years or decades before sudden, rapid population growth is observed.

Introduced species that overcome life history tradeoffs can cause native extinctions. [PDF]
Nat Commun, 2018 Introduced species threaten native biodiversity, but whether exotic species can competitively displace native species remains contested. Building on theory that predicts multi-species coexistence based on a competition-colonisation tradeoff, we derive a ...

Species clustering, climate effects, and introduced species in 5 million city trees across 63 US cities. [PDF]
Elife, 2022 Sustainable cities depend on urban forests. City trees—pillars of urban forests—improve our health, clean the air, store CO2, and cool local temperatures.

Immigrant Tortricidae: Holarctic versus Introduced Species in North America. [PDF]
Insects, 2020 Simple Summary The family Tortricidae includes approximately 11,500 species of small moths, many of which are economically important pests worldwide. A large number of tortricid species have been inadvertently introduced into North America from Eurasia ...

Introduced species shape insular mutualistic networks. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2021 Our planet’s biosphere, comprising all living beings and their interactions, is experiencing unprecedented changes. Within a few decades, we could face entirely new climates, and radically altered species compositions and distributions, forming novel networks of biotic interactions.

Losing cichlid fish biodiversity: genetic and morphological homogenization of tilapia following colonization by introduced species. [PDF]
Conserv Genet, 2018 Among the many negative impacts of invasive species, hybridization with indigenous species has increasingly become recognized as a major issue. However, relatively few studies have characterized the phenotypic outcomes of hybridization following ...

Trophic consequences of introduced species: Comparative impacts of increased interspecific versus intraspecific competitive interactions. [PDF]
Funct Ecol, 2018 Invasive species can cause substantial ecological impacts on native biodiversity. While ecological theory attempts to explain the processes involved in the trophic integration of invaders into native food webs and their competitive impacts on resident ...

The effects of demographic stochasticity and parameter uncertainty on predicting the establishment of introduced species. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2016 Invasive species are a serious threat to biodiversity worldwide and predicting whether an introduced species will first establish and then become invasive can be useful to preserve ecosystem services. Establishment is influenced by multiple factors, such

Introducing the Global Register of Introduced and Invasive Species [PDF]
Scientific Data, 2018 AbstractHarmonised, representative data on the state of biological invasions remain inadequate at country and global scales, particularly for taxa that affect biodiversity and ecosystems. Information is not readily available in a form suitable for policy and reporting.
