Regional invasion history and land use shape the prevalence of non‐native speci...
Liu, Daijun; Essl, Franz; Lenzner, Bernd; Moser, Dietmar; Semenchuk, Philipp; Blackburn, Tim M.; Cassey, Phillip; Biancolini, Dino; Capinha, CésarThe ecological impact of non-native species arises from their establishment in local assemblages. However, the rates of non-native spread in new regions and their determinants have not been comprehensively studied. Here, we combined global databases documenting the occurrence of non-native species and residence of non-native birds, mammals, and vascular plants at regional and local scales to describe how the li...
The impact of land use on non-native species incidence and number in local asse...
Liu, Daijun; Semenchuk, Philipp; Essl, Franz; Lenzner, Bernd; Moser, Dietmar; Blackburn, Tim M.; Cassey, Phillip; Biancolini, Dino; Capinha, CésarWhile the regional distribution of non-native species is increasingly well documented for some taxa, global analyses of non-native species in local assemblages are still missing. Here, we use a worldwide collection of assemblages from five taxa - ants, birds, mammals, spiders and vascular plants - to assess whether the incidence, frequency and proportions of naturalised nonnative species depend on type and inte...

Hudson, Lawrence N.; Newbold, Tim; Contu, Sara; Hill, Samantha L.L.; Lysenko, Igor; Palma, Adriana de; Phillips, Helen R.P.; Senior, Rebecca A.Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species' threat status or population time series are dominated by charismatic species. The collation of datasets with broad taxonomic and biogeographic extents, and that support computation of a range of biodivers...
Insect occurrence in agricultural land‐uses depends on realized niche and geogr...
Waldock, Conor A.; De Palma, Adriana; Borges, Paulo A. V.; Purvis, AndyGeographic range size predicts species' responses to land-use change and intensification, but the reason why is not well established because many correlates of larger geographic ranges, such as realized niche breadth, may mediate species' responses to environmental change. Agricultural land uses (hereafter 'agroecosystems') have warm, dry and more variable microclimates than do cooler and wetter mature forests,...

Hudson, Lawrence N.; Newbold, Tim; [...], [...]; Borges, Paulo A. V.; Cardoso, Pedro; [...], [...]; Purvis, AndyThe PREDICTS project—Projecting Responses of Ecological Diversity In Changing Terrestrial Systems (www.predicts.org.uk)—has collated from published studies a large, reasonably representative database of comparable samples of biodiversity from multiple sites that differ in the nature or intensity of human impacts relating to land use. We have used this evidence base to develop global and regional statistical mod...

Atlas versus range maps: robustness of chorological relationships to distributi...
Barbosa, A. Márcia; Estrada, Alba; Marquez, Ana L.; Purvis, Andy; Orme, C. David L.Aim Chorological relationships describe the patterns of distributional overlap among species. In addition to revealing biogeographical structure, the resulting clusters of species with similar geographical distributions can serve as natural units in conservation planning. Here, we assess the extent to which temporal, methodological and taxonomical differences in the source of species’ distribution data can affe...
