Distribution of alien tetrapods in the Iberian Peninsula
Ascensão, Fernando; D'Amico, Marcello; Martins, Ricardo C.; Rebelo, Rui; Barbosa, A. Márcia; Bencatel, Joana; Barrientos, Rafael; Abellán, PedroWe present a dataset that assembles occurrence records of alien tetrapods (amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals) in the Iberian Peninsula, a coherent biogeographically unit where introductions of alien species have occurred for millennia. These data have important potential applications for ecological research and management, including the assessment of invasion risks, formulation of preventive and managemen...

Drivers of compositional dissimilarity for native and alien birds: the relative...
Ascensão, Fernando; Latombe, Guillaume; Anadón, José D.; Abellán, Pedro; Cardador, Laura; Carrete, Martina; Tella, José L.; Capinha, CésarWe assessed the relative importance of human activity and environmental suitability as drivers of compositional dissimilarity of alien birds for 65 of the most populous cities of the Iberian Peninsula. We examined how these drivers relate to Zeta diversity (ζ) for alien Passeriformes and Psittaciformes. We performed the analysis using multiple orders of ζ, which provides insight on the role played by rare and c...
Regional bans on wild-bird trade modify invasion risks at a global scale
Cardador, Laura; Lattuada, Matteo; Strubbe, Diederik; Tella, José L.; Reino, Luís; Figueira, Rui; Carrete, MartinaWildlife trade is currently the most important and increasing source of vertebrate invasive species. However, exhaustive analyses of potential side effects of trade regulations on this pathway of introduction are lacking. We addressed this by combining environmental niche models and global trade data on parrots (Psittaciformes), one of the most widely traded and worldwide invasive taxa. We used the wild bird tr...
