Patterns and drivers of range filling of alien mammals in Europe
Tedeschi, Lisa; Lenzner, Bernd; Schertler, Anna; Wessely, Johannes; Biancolini, Dino; Capinha, César; Melone, Beatrice; Soria, Carmen DianaBiological invasions are major drivers of biodiversity change. Alien mammals are par-ticularly concerning in Europe, where their expansion remains unabated, though thedriving factors are still unclear. Well-documented introductions and distributions inthis continent provide a unique opportunity to understand how human activities influ-enced this expansion. We modelled the potential alien ranges of 46 establishe...
The global distribution patterns of alien vertebrate richness in mountains
García-Rodríguez, Adrián; Lenzner, Bernd; Velasco, Julián A.; Schertler, Anna; Omer, Ali; Seebens, Hanno; Capinha, César; Gallardo, BelindaThe diverse biotas of the world’s mountains face a challenging future due to increasing threats like climate change, land-use change, and biological invasions, the last being particularly understudied in these regions. Here we compile occurrence records for 717 alien vertebrate species distributed in 2984 mountains worldwide. We analyze their distribution, biogeographic origin, presence in protected areas, and ...
Biogeography and global flows of 100 major alien fungal and fungus-like oomycet...
Schertler, Anna; Lenzner, Bernd; Dullinger, Stefan; Moser, Dietmar; Bufford, Jennifer L.; Ghelardini, Luisa; Santini, Alberto; Capinha, CésarAim: Spreading infectious diseases associated with introduced pathogens can have devastating effects on native biota and human livelihoods. We analyse the global distribution of 100 major alien fungal and oomycete pathogens with substantial socio-economic and environmental impacts and examine their taxonomy, ecological characteristics, temporal accumulation trajectories, regional hot- and coldspots of taxon ric...

Patterns and drivers of the global diversity of non‐native macrofungi
Monteiro, Miguel; Reino, Luís; Ferreira, Maria Teresa; Essl, Franz; Schertler, Anna; Capinha, CésarAim: To uncover the biogeography of non-native macrofungal diversity worldwide, by analysing patterns and drivers of (1) regional variation in species richness, (2) compositional similarity between regional species assemblages and (3) the spatiotemporal trends of first records. Location: Global. Methods: We used a database providing 1608 distribution records of 554 non-native macrofungal species in 167 national...
A database of the global distribution of alien macrofungi
Monteiro, Miguel; Reino, Luís; Schertler, Anna; Essl, Franz; Figueira, Rui; Ferreira, Maria; Capinha, CésarHuman activities are allowing the ever-increasing dispersal of taxa to beyond their native ranges. Understanding the patterns and implications of these distributional changes requires comprehensive information on the geography of introduced species. Current knowledge about the alien distribution of macrofungi is limited taxonomically and temporally, which severely hinders the study of human-mediated distributio...
